  1. There are two latches located under the front edge of the front roof section. When the roof is closed, the two latches (A) lock the front roof section against the windshield frame. This is done with the help of the front roof lock cylinder.
  2. Two latches (B) lock the rear edge of the front roof section to the front edge of the center roof section. This is done with the help of the two roof cylinders (C).
  3. Two rods (D) lock the rear edge of the center roof section to the front edge of the rear roof section. This is done with the help of the two roof cylinders (C).
  4. Two catches (E) lock the rear edge of the rear roof section to the body when the roof is closed. Locking occurs via the two lock cylinders for the rear roof.
  5. Two catches (F) are attached on the trunk lid's link system. These catches lock the upper section of the trunk lid in the link system, when the roof is open or closed. The lock catch motor operates these catches via cables.
  6. When the roof is open (in the cargo compartment) the front section of the roof is operated through the movable mounting bracket (G). When the roof is in the correct resting position, the front roof section's lock cylinder locks the front catches (A) around the lock pins (H).

Lock, trunk lid 

The trunk lid has an electric lock that locks the lid to the sill. The lock is fitted with a mechanical cable and a mechanical lock cylinder that can be used to open the trunk lid if the voltage to the lock is cut.

The lock cylinder for emergency opening of the trunk lid is placed:
