How to Repair the Hood of a Smart Roadster?

Model: Smart Smart Roadster, 452 - Years 2003-2005
Part: Convertible top

To repair the hood of a Smart Roadster, you need to fully close it so that the fabric covering can be removed from the respective snap pins. Next, the fabric must be unglued from the remaining part of the mechanism, so it can be completely removed. At this point, you can glue the new fabric, ensuring it is stretched completely and that there is no damage during closing. Finally, you can insert the cover into the appropriate pins, checking that the hood opens and closes correctly.
