How to replace the roof of the Smart Fortwo?

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Checks and maintenance

The attached video tutorial shows how to change the panoramic roof of the Smart Fortwo 451. As we can see, this operation should be done by two people with the help of suitable tools. First, remove all the internal plastics near the roof and then proceed to separate the roof using cutting wire. Remove any residue of glue and apply the spacers provided in the kit. At this point, place the new roof, find the correct position, and apply strips of tape which we will cut as shown in the video. This will help us find the right position once the glue is applied. To ensure proper adhesion, apply weight on top of the roof, taking care to place protective material in between.
