How to open the roof of the Mitsubishi eclipse spyder?

Question

I have just rented a Mitsubishi eclipse spyder from avis, but don't know how to open the roof because I've never driven a convertible before. I tried to press the ''open '' and ''close'' button, at first the windows opened and closed, but afterward, it is only making beep sound. I don't know why, and do any one know how to open/close the roof? Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

If it is a 2000-2009 Eclipse spyder then here is what you do.  Above the sun visors there are clasps, one on each side.  Unfasten the clasps by following the arrow diagrams, tilt the visors so they don't interfere.  Then press the "open" button and hold it down until the windows are down and the roof has been lowered.  You must keep the button pressed the whole time the roof is lowering or raising or it will either stop midway or not work at all and beep.  The beeping sound you are getting is probably due to the clasps not allowing the roof to lower.  This should help you.
