|  Hi there  Open the top half way up - or down....  Then you have good access to the window NB Motor must be running, or ignition must be on.

 | I you let only ingnition, after few minutes, a beep will be heard... Be careful, as the pressure in the roof mechanism is not enough, the roof will autmatically move ... On my side, i prefere to keep the engine running during this operation.

|  Great tip. The inside of the rear window is almost unreachable.

| I don't think this trick works as well for the R171 as it did for the R170. Because the window folds differently in the R171, I don't do it that way. I just put my knees in the seat and twist and switch hands for the 2 sides. (of course, because its such a pain in the rear, I've only done it once I keep the screen in place so you can't see the glass as well. That helps ) |

Tried working on it with the roof part open but its so flexible in that position i did not want to push too hard and find myself aligning it again.
