1) be very VERY careful
2) open the boot and disengage the 2 motors - one is fairly central and the other main one is on the right - if you want, pull out (carefully) the trim/lining/carpet etc to make it easier
3) open the top CAREFULLY SLOWLEY by hand; push the very front up, then lift the back section of the roof, then the 'lid', whilst standing at the drivers side - you should be able to see the mechanism now
there's a main rod running front-rear from the hood frame to the body via a funny shaped 'gear' which rotates in a horizontal plane; is this torn out?
