Default Convertible Top

When I go to put my top up I don't hear the audible beep that complets the cycle and I know for sure the bow lock is not locking is that why I can't close the front windshield it will not lock in place.
question should I replace bow lock?
Does it just need some wd40
If I manually lock it will I then be. able
to lock and close front windshield section?

That is the same problem I have. Did you find a solution? When the top goes up, the cycle does not complete with a notification beep and the trunk does not open even when unlocked with the key fob. However I have found a video where by turning the key on and pressing the top down button, then while holding the top down button, turn the key off and continue to hold the top down button for about 5 seconds. You will hear it release and you can now open the trunk.

The solution to both is the same. Let the pressure drain off (it takes about 10 minutes)or release the pressure by pressing the top down button, then while holding the top down button, turn the key off and continue to hold the top down button for about 5 seconds. I do not know why you are not getting the audible.

You most likely have a hydraulic leak and there isn't enough pressure to latch the rear bow. If you can get the top open to where the trunk will open again I'd do that and then manually close the top and not touch it again till you get the system repaired. Keeping the trunk latch operational is key if you don't have a scan tool to open the trunk once it has been blocked.
