1)engine off with windows down.
2)unlatch the front T handle and unlock.
3)push up and the rear should raise a little bit.
4)grab the top at the rear where it sits on the lid and raise.
5)there should be two small covers there on the back deck.
6) open them and look for the small lever inside.
7)release the lever on both sides (unlocking the boot cover) and then the boot cover should be able to be raised.
8) once the back cover is raised stow the top into the compartment then push the boot cover down until it latches.

From the owners manual. The roof parts will move slowly due to the hydraulic cylinders..it helps to have two people to work the top.

This 1994 90 Cabrio I just picked-up for my sister-in-law is very tidy at 50k miles. Only mildly disappointed at delivery to find the top servo system is dead. Not a big deal, a good old-fashioned tech thread like this might just save the day. I appreciate it.

If by chance it truly is a top motor problem, I have a backup motor available. Usually the motor doesn't fail and it's a wiring or switch problem. Sold my Cabby and still have a few parts.
