I've posted this in General because it relates to anyone when the Cali roof fails to close. The manual describes a manual lowering procedure, which involves removing the control unit and accessing a screw to release the oil pressure. Unfortunately, this screw was not visible on my Cali because it was hidden behind the foam padding retaining the hydraulic pump. Using a blade, a small section had to be cut out of the foam to access it. I have seen other posts in the Elevating roof section also mentioning not seeing the screw.
It seems to me that this could cause stress when the roof fails to close, and users try to locate the screw in an emergency. I have posted a few images showing what has to be done.
