I just bought a 41 Packard 120 convertible. It has a power top, but I don’t see how to operate the latches at the top of the windshield. There is a handle it’s the top cent of the windshield but it doesn’t seem to want to move. Do you twist or pull on this handle to unlatch the top?
Thanks for any and all help.

The handle turns,I would suggest having helpers push down on the outside ends and pull down on center as you turn. I think it is cw, will have to look at my car. Vacuum switch on left of column does the job. Dell

G'dayIllini,
to PackardInfo. but sorry I can't help with your query.

However, I invite you to include your '41 120 Convertible in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

That did the trick Delll!
My handle rotates ccw to unlatch.
Thanks so much!
I wish I would have found this forum sooner.
I looked on line for a week with no luck.
I was afraid to force the handle in fear of breaking something.
Not sure where to find replacement parts yet.
My question was answered in a couple of hours on packardinfo

Illini for including your '41 120 Convertible Coupe in the Registry.

Big surprise was to see a 356 engine in your '41 120, hadn't seen that done previously.

Plus I've deleted the duplicate Registry entry to maintain the integrity of the Registry.
