When you unlock the top D ring, you must hold the top up, it will not open the 6 or so inches to begin the automatic top-down procedure. The top will go down and operation is normal by holding the top up that 6 inches or so. The dealer recently replaced the top. They must have missed something.
Any ideas?
You took the car to a dealer. They performed lousy work. No big surprise,
READ MY SIGLINE and do not
EVER make this mistake again.
Replacing the top is easy, but dealers cant change oil, they sure can't handle a new top.
My top was replaced in 90 minutes, in a condo parking lot, by forum members. Yes, we did what a dealer can't do, in a parking lot, in 90F heat, in 90 minutes.
EDIT: Ok, fine, you are BUYING it from a dealer, I see that now. Ok, you just learned a good lesson: The car will NEVER go back to a dealer once you get it away from them!
