RT/10 hard top question....

[SteveT]

Looking at the owners manual for hard top removal instructions on a 2001 RT10 and it show a "tool" used to unlatch the front latches. Cannot find any tool in the car. The picture in the manual is not very good but it looks like a long allen wrench. If it is, does anyone know the size? If not what is it?

Thanks,
Steve

Not sure of the size but assuming you checked the glove box I'm guessing you didn't get one. No matter, after installing and removing the top a few times you will no longer need it.

It's just an allen wrench. It does not have to be a perfect fit as you are just using it as a lever. You can probably buy one at Lowes or Home Depot.

I found mine in the owner's manual. You might check the pockets on the back of your seats. I only used it a few times...now I just use my fingers, but any allen wrench will work..it's just used as a leverage tool.

You can substitute just about anything for it. But then again, once you pull it off, why would you ever put it back on? *grins*

Thanks for the replies.

I am cleaning up this 2001 for a local senior center that had it donated to them. Had a '97 and '02 both GTSs so I have never even seen the inside of the RT. The car has 5,200 miles on it and I do not think the top has ever been off.

They are going to sell 100 chances at $1,000 each for the Viper. I will be storing it until the drawing.
