How do you adjust the opening of the convertible top in the Smart Fortwo?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Convertible top

The advantage of a convertible car is undoubtedly being able to enjoy beautiful spring or summer days, opening the hood fully or partially. In the case of the Smart Fortwo 451, the car featured in this video, you can adjust the opening of the hood by using the button in front of the gear lever or through the remote control. Based on our preferences, we can decide whether to open it partially or completely, but we must not forget, as explained in the aforementioned video, that if they have been removed, the two side sliding guides must be repositioned in their place.
