    Thanks again. Please add to your “tag” the message that I get: “Hood Not Latched”. That will make it easier for others to find your video.
    Also, the message on your dash actually says: “Convertible Not Latched”. (spelling too)

      Yeah saw the typo, but I was not going to edit the video to change it, I knew it would give anal person something to find

      @@jagvette1 My ex-wife would laugh that anyone called me anal. My point was to assist as many people as possible to find you video because it is so helpful . Notice that I suggested to add to your tags, not change the title or content. My comment may do the same thing.
      Just tryin’ to help the Jaaag community.
      EDIT: It turns out that a screw from the middle “U” hook fell into the latch, blocking the “U” hook. EZ fix. Glad no damage resulted. Some of the other screws Were loose to. Now they’re all snug.

    But, will the back windows close? I seldom let top down, and today I did, but the top had trouble closing. Got the "top latch" warning, had to use key to manually latch. Now back windows still down. Does the relay reset, actually reset the cycle?

      You may have to jump the relays in the trunk to get them to close

      @@jagvette1 OK by "jump the relays" you mean unplug/ plug in again? I hope so , cuz few tools.

    Hi, I have some issues with my car, idk why but most of the times there is not enough power to close the roof properly (I have to close it manually), and when I open the roof, the latch doesn’t “hide”, I think this may help but if it won’t please help me 🙏😅

      There could be two/three/four issues assuming you do not have a leak, the hydraulic fluid may (a) too low or (b) it has thickened (c) the motor is ferked.I may be a good Idea to flush the lines(I used brake cleaner) from front to back then replace the fluid with nice new stuff (CHF) and then it could be the rams. I would start with a fluid flush if it was my car.One other problem could be the BCM there are many components to this roof.
