    Important! Retractable Hardtop problem solved

    This may help someone; it worked for me. Problem began when I tried to raise top and the trunk compartment separator was not in perfect position. There is a micro switch on the left side where the panel fits into the slot. I corrected that and it worked. Returning from the show and at home...
