To replace the roof of the Smart Roadster, open the bonnet and unscrew the fixing screws of the internal compartment to access the battery underneath. Connect a charger to it, as it may completely discharge during the operation; then, press the button inside the cabin to fully lower the roof, allowing the springs at its base to disengage.
