Default Cabriolet roof stuck - help please

I have a 95 911 cab. Today while trying to lower the roof, the roof
seemed to hang for a second before releasing from the catches. After
finally releasing, the roof would not open or close. It is just
sitting slightly open.

The manual states that the roof can be manually lowered. It says to
unzip the zipper at the rear window and remove the left side cover. I
can not quite figure out what I am supposed to do.

I am confused. When it refers to the left side, is it referring to the
passenger side or the drivers side? Can anyone provide a slightly
better explanation of where to find (or how to get to) the mechanism
for the manual crank.

Also, I assume that the roof stopped working because of the fail safe
on the clutch when the roof was binding. How does one reset this
mechanism so that it will work again?

Thanks for any help.

Bruce

don't know about 95, on the next series, this failure is usually accompanied
by the need to replace the belden cables that drive the lift mechanism -
your shop manual may be helpful
