The convertible top may be
constricted if it is left retracted for a
long period. Therefore, if the top has
become constricted, it may be difficult
to hook the top latch striker to the
anchor.
The soft top is made of high quality
material and if it is not maintained
correctly, the material could harden,
becomes stained, or have an uneven
gloss.
Lowering the convertible top while
it's wet can also cause water to drip
into the cabin.
Make sure the convertible top is
securely locked by pushing up on it. If
it still sounds loose (rattles) after being
locked by the top latch, contact an
authorized dealer.
The power windows go down
automatically in conjunction with the
convertible top opening/closing.
