Most hardtops can be opened manually in emergency situations, but it depends on the vehicle.
General Manual Opening Procedure:
Consult your owner's manual – it typically includes a procedure.
Locate the manual release tool – often in the toolkit.
Release hydraulic pressure – some systems have a valve or Allen screw on the pump to do this.
Manually lift the roof – this can be heavy; ideally, two people are needed.
Manually stow the roof – follow the reverse of the normal stow sequence.
Important: Forcibly moving the roof without releasing hydraulic pressure or unlocking mechanical latches can cause serious damage.
