Default Wife vs Convertible Top

The wife has been driving the crossfire a bunch and she calls me today wanting to know how to put the top down (first decent weather temp wise since she has been driving it). My granddaughter is visiting and she wanted her to see what it was like with the top down.

Well I tell her to open the top and push the button till it goes down all the way.

She tries the button and its beeping and lighting up red. I told her to check the divider in the trunk and sure enough it wasnt in place where she had a bunch of stuff in the trunk.
After putting the divider in place still nothing. We go on and on about it for awhile on the phone and she decides to give up till she gets back.

I go out when she gets back and sure enough everything is right and it should work from the previous time I had let the top down and from the videos I could find. NONE of them show the divider in the trunk and only one or two even mentioned it. I had to find pics on the forum here to even see what it looked like to talk the wife thru it on the phone.

Anyways beeping and no top movement. Well it turns out there is one step NOT mentioned anywhere.

1. Open the top with the **** at the top of the windshield (pretty easy since that is common and almost all convertibles including my corvette convertible).

2. Make sure the cars in park (with it running being a good idea too but no required).

3. Make sure that divider is in the proper position (VERY little info out there on step 3 btw)

Now for step 4 !!!!

4. Make sure the TRUNKS closed. Not mentioned ANYWHERE when I was looking info up.

Once I closed the trunk it worked.....
