Convertible Roof (market specific)
Close the Roof Manually: If the Tonneau Lid has Unlocked
and the Roof is Underneath
Do not allow the tonneau lid to rest on the roof fabric.
Manually lift the tonneau lid. Continue to hold the tonneau lid while
closing the roof. When the roof rear has cleared the tonneau lid, let
the tonneau lid slowly fall to close. Slowly raise the roof to meet the
top of the windscreen. The rear of the roof will lay in position on the
edge of the tonneau lid.
Rear Quarter Windows
Depending on the reason why the roof fails,
the rear quarter windows may not raise when
raising the roof manually. When the roof has
been manually raised and locked, set the
ignition to ON and attempt to raise the rear
quarter windows by operating the roof close
switch.
Roof Maintenance
Do not use automatic vehicle washes. Brushes, detergents and
pressurised water jets may damage the roof fabric.
Do not use power washers. Jets of water may damage the
weather seals and the roof fabric.
Do not use spot cleaners, chemical diluents or any organic
cleaners. If in doubt, contact your Aston Martin Dealer.
Do not leave the roof in the lowered (folded) position for
extended periods of vehicle storage. Permanent damage may
occur to the roof fabric.
