No I have owed the car since last August, no work on the top. I haven't had any issues with the top at all. No alarms, I thought it was slow and noisy but to be honest I have no reference on how fast or loud it should be. I have had the top up and down 30-50 times I have driven almost every week I had decent weather and the top down when I could and not seem crazy!
I have the top up and secure and will post a video on when and if it will open. I took the pressure of closed the top manually and used the 6mm allen to secure the Latch. Thanks for responding so quickly, I know that this the best fourm for any car group.
