Name of part that hatch pushes on
Hi, I have bought an r52 but the safety button that the hatch pushes on and thus enables the ragtop to open is missing.
What is the name of that part? Thanks.

^ +1 that has to be it. The foot of the rear deck when set in the lower position engages it.

Sorry, it's set vertically such that when the hatch closes, it pushes it in. It doesn't seem related to the window shelf.

I know it says hood sensor but it might be used in the trunk too...thus Hood/Trunk sensor? Can you take pics of the area where it should be?

Based off what you said, sorry it's the one that tells you when the trunk is open.
