your 2007 rag top is a holdover GEN1 so your options are
{none covers the convert' specifically, but the common stuff appplies well enought}

Bentley @ $100 plus, available from many sources and you may get lucky and find a used one http://new.minimania.com/web/Item/NMK2110/InvDetail.cfm {example source, check amazon too}

Haynes@ $40 , not as complete as Bentley but very usable for the average home mechanic looking for basic service and smaller repairs
http://new.minimania.com/web/Item/4273/InvDetail.cfm

Search on NAM and probably still find a link to the service manual in pdf form for download. It is large but downloads safely (as of last time I checked it out)

My Haynes gets the most use, but I've used Haynes for many years on many cars and since they are all laid out similarly it just feels comfortable to me. If I want more I go to the pdf . . .

Don't waste your time and money with anything less than the Bentley manual.
