How to remove the motors from the hood of a Smart ForTwo

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Convertible top

Before we can begin, we will have to go to open the tailgate of the luggage compartment of our Smart ForTwo. Let's start by disconnecting the electrical plugs connected to the motors that operate the soft top. After that, we will have to proceed by unscrewing and removing the screws that hold the motors in place. When we have completed this step, we will be able to remove the motors from their housing, and we will have successfully completed the disassembly. At this point, we will be free to fit the new soft top motors, and the soft top will resume its normal operation.
