:: Convertible stop stalling?

Qube · 08-16-2008, 03:19 PM

So how often has your top stalled while opening or closing? Got the car in June... drove it every sunny day we got with the top open. Have about 4700KMs on it. The top has stalled (with red light blink) maybe... 7 times? There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. These are from FULL STOP... not traveling at any speed.

Most of the time I just need to depress the button and it will continue. Today, I was opening the top from the outside (key) and it stopped. No amount of open/close will budge it. I got in the car and pushed the button close a tad and reopen.

This is getting me worried. I don't want the car in the shop during sunny days!

Make sure the receptacle area for the top in the trunk is pulled down fully.

sometimes happens to me if the passenger opens the door....i don't think you can open the doors while operating the top.
also -- you comfort access is touchy for opening/closing. again, you cant open the doors.
hope this helps a little.
