Yes, the Yellow color is beautiful with the lines and style of the XF. Yes, the top is/was completely shut and latched. The watched and clinched at the mechanic opening it and slamming it while trying to second guess the repair work. I guess that I am too gentle with things. At one point, the top would not go down, I think where I read in one of the past threads it will time out to go down automatically, and the pressure will cease. I am sure that overall it might be a quick fix, I sure hope so!
