Hello,
I don't know exactly what you are asking.
If you are attempting to replace your top then Convertible top Guys has a kit, tops, and parts with directions and there are threads here that can also help you just use the search function.
These links I have provided below may answer your questions.

Yes, you can replace the top if it can only be operated manually. The pressure bleeds down after about 10 minutes anyway.

Or pull the fuse, it bleeds down NOW. (Fuse 25 in the underhood box, if I remember....)

I would look for a fellow Crossfire member in your region.

As many will tell you here. We are in this together and little to no help without spending major $$$ out there.
Below is a link to local repair shops. you may find one in your region. The top to our roadsters are unique to the crossfire. That is why I recommend finding a fellow Crossfire member to help you.
I plan on replacing my top soon. If you want to take a drive down to Norfolk, Va we can help each other. It will be around the end of July or 1st of August before I start on mine. This gives me the time to purchase the top, kit, and a few other things before I start. I also have to figure out how to repair/replace the detent cables on my top.

I finally got my replacement top from them today. I haven’t had a chance to look at it, yet. A friend called the local top company and he wanted to charge me $650 to install it, without any warranties! I need to find those installation videos & see if we can do it ourselves. FYI, the top cost right at $725 after currency translation… a great price and company.

Hey Doc,
If you still have a XFire and would be willing to help me out while we drink a few beers that would be awesome. I have found myself in need a new top and one of the only well rated shops in the area I believe it was Nick's said he wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. I live in Chesapeake now but I noticed one of the seams popped on my car and I am totally bummed.
