and do you have an SLP version?

I found out that there is a small "door" on the top of the back seat, after it is open there is an allen bolt that can be turned for manual operation with GM part number 22772402. The GM wench is discontinued, but some are available on ebay.

Turn it counter clockwise no more than 1 turn. Your car should have came with the wrench, but I know how those things can go. After power is restored, you can tighten the bolt clockwise with the wrench. If the battery was disconnected, you need to re-program the windows for the convertible top to work using the button.
