First...LOOK around... pretty easy to follow it's path but I understand the question because I too have a Roadster.. The top is "locked in place" at the windshield. Loosen the the locks in the car, not the side windshield wing nuts. Loose the post wing nuts so the top wants to pop up. Then just follow it's natural desire to open. I suspect the top has been up for some time....just gently lift it up...after being sure the little snaps are undone across the windshield.... it will unfold in a very simple manner. Lots of hinges to be sure...WD-40 can't hurt...go slow.....back and forth....go slow...
