How do you replace the roof of the Smart Roadster?

Model: Smart Smart Roadster, 452 - Years 2003-2005
Part: Checks and maintenance

In order to replace the roof of the Smart Roadster you have to open the hood and unscrew the fixing screws of the internal drawer, so that you can access the underlying battery. It will be necessary to connect a charger to it, as it could run out completely during the operation; then it will be necessary to press the button inside the passenger compartment to completely lower the roof, so that the springs at its base can be released. In this way it will be possible to completely remove the old roof from its housing and replace it with a new spare part.
