My original battery died and it took me several days with the battery out to find one. I do not have the IBS thing, so I figured I could replace the battery without issues.
After replacement, the car starts up fine and I get a "Service" flash on the screen, but it runs fine.
The top retracts to the midpoint, but will not go down. Just stops.

Do I have to reset something to get this to work?
Thanks

Nobody?

Okay, try it with this new insight.
When I was going over the car looking for reasons for the battery to be flat, I noticed a good bit of water in the boot.
Not a good thing. The seals around the trunk door seem fine, but the carpet was wet in there and there was actually a little water standing under the jack compartment.

I don't think that has anything to do with the problem, but it occurred to me that I'd been poking around in the boot and maybe I messed with something that interferes with the convertible top going down?

What do I need to check in there?

 

Well, about the tenth time seems to be the charm. This morning I thought I'd take another stab at the problem.
I opened up the boot again, moved both levers and lifted the accessory shelf. Then I tapped the button under the left side of the shelf vigorously about twenty times, making damn sure it was moving freely and was seated before I locked the shelf down again.

And the top works again.

Did I actually do anything? Did the moisture in the boot affect the switch, keeping me from putting the top down?

The world may never know...

But it's going to be 60* today and my convertible converts, so for today, I don't care.
