Yes I know what you mean, I just need some sugar to wake up today 
As for closing/opening this is what the manual says:
Q. Why can’t I open/close the canopy?
A. To close the canopy, make sure the CFS Pin has been removed and the engine is
shut down. To open it, make sure the canopy is unlocked and the engine is shut
down. If the above conditions are met, the canopy latch should work.
