There is a manual way to get the roof up, slightly easier in US than UK cars, as we don't have the "kidnap" release handle in the trunk.
If the boot is up you can pull handle and the lid unlocks and can be pushed up.
I did mod on my car to do this with lid in any posn.
Lift the lid to access the pump under floor.
There are two brass hex sockets.
Fwd one is roof, the rear the trunk.
Prop the trunk up, turn the fwd brass hex and that drops pressure, the roof can be lift up and over.
Stand behind with the trunk up, one person can push the roof over, i did.
Next the rear hex and the trunk lid will lower.
Push the glass panel into posn.
Non of it is locked but at least you get at the components to repair.
