LGB 31510 Rhb coach roof

[Grumpy old man]

Has anybody any hints on how to easily remove the roof from this coach please? I have tried sticking my fingers in via the doors and have eased the top door connectors out of the locater holes but then I cannot seem to find out what I am to do.

Here is the manual for a similar model in the current lineup, I could not find the manual for yours. https://static.maerklin.de/damcontent/e2/7e/e27e86879f324fc80b710e38f15526d41626755422.pdf It should help a bit.

I've attached the original instruction manual - https://www.trainli.com/USER-GUIDE-PDF/LGB Passenger Cars/lgb-31510-user-guide.pdf

You have to hold the coach steady under one arm while you push as hard as you dare with your screwdriver as illustrated. It is nothing more complicated than lots of elbow grease. If you are like me you are afraid of damaging the coach but there is no alternative other than giving the roof a good shove. It pops out all of a sudden - replace lights and insert passengers - then the roof just snaps back into place!
