- In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to replace a jammed slider on the cabrio soft top system of a SMART car. We show you how to cut off runner tabs, remove the soft top, disconnect the plug of the integrated brake lamp, and control the soft top via the "Actuations" menu in Star Diagnosis. We also provide step-by-step instructions on how to remove and stow side supports, fit new sliders, and position the soft top on the roof cassette.

Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. Just a few tips.
1. at 2.13 min: removing this plastic cover is not necessary when one just have to replace front sliders (Verdeck Aufsteller). So you can start with the screws at 3.25 min.
2. at 3.57 min. you need to be with 3 persons, 1 extra to push the control buttons of the soft top.
3. be careful at 4.05 minutes when the front slider comes out of the roofcassette. This action releases two springs, they will push the frontsliders towards you, also a push/pull metal wounded cable will come out of its hole.
4. at 4.10 min. you will need to release the white inner roof material, by pulling up the cable at the end of the inner roof, be careful not to stain the inner roof material because there will be grease on your hands after the handling at 4.05 mim.
5. if your problem, like mine, were two broken spring blades from the to Verdeck Aufsteller, you will have to remove the broken pieces from the front slider. This was one hell of a job. At 4.30 min you need a hammer and a drowel. You will need to hammer out the left pieces. Hammer the spring blade down and out.
6. next tough job starts at 5.22. Be sure jou put the springs back in the front hole/round opening. And be sure to put the two metal pins in the two round holes/bearings. Its is easy to miss the rear hole like I did and then you will not be able to fit it back. Then put the push/pull metal wounded cable back in the last hole. Then line up all the sliders carefully.

You have a video
@@EYEAMDAONE did you send me a video? I have got no video. You should be able to do it with the video I was reacting to.
Great video on smart cars, well made thanks. But I have a smart for 2 and the roof recliner motors have broken and all I get to s warning bleeping. Is it easy to buy and replace roof motors on a 2009 smart
Thanks guys you made that job easy🍺🍺
good job, very good tutorial, thanks for sharing I had a doubt, there are 3 slides on each side, which guide is each one, from the back to the front?
Where do the springs that come with kit go? And how do actuator rods attach to front clips?
Does anyone have any video or instructions on replacing the rear cover part that goes around window? Mine has shrunken and needs a new outer cover for the back part any instructions would be awesome I’m trying to do it myself instead of taking it to the dealer
I just found a tension strap that broke from the drivers side any info on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated
Hello do you have a similar video for smart 450? thx
Hi, My 451 Cabrio doesn't close equally on both sides, this leaves wind noise howling at 30mph is there an adjustment to close the roof more towards the screen on one side. Thanks for any help
What are the roof clips parts number you replaced?
Did you find the part or name of those clips?
but for old smart 2003 you have ? video
Need a group as qualified in my area - ideas on how to vet a group ?
Bonjour,
J’ai les crochets de verrouillage de la capote qui sont cassés que puis-je faire?
Cordialement
First, thank you for this video. It's moderately helpful, but how do I re-attache the cable? My cable came lose and is unattached. A full video on how to do it all would be a nice touch. Again, thank you.
Just put it simply (pretty loosely) in the last hole...
We’re you able to figure it out?
@@b-lionnetwork2039 No, I took it to an upholstery shop and they replaced it. Cost: $1,600.
@@cstevens2121 oh damn. It was an easy fix. I had to do it for mine and all that needed to be done was put the lock onto the plastic hole of the latch mechanism
We have a smart 451 convertible group on Facebook.

The sound on and off has to be the most annoying audio I've ever heard on a CZcams video
