2005 Cabrio top won't retract

Hi all,

I have a 2005 MCS Cabrio. The top will open to the sunroof, but no further. I have already checked to be sure that nothing is blocking the switch in the back. Any ideas?

Thanks!

OMG!!! After a few years of non-usage, it works! I did not realize that there were two "sticks" that swing down and contact a second switch (other than the parcel switch)... At some point, they were both retracted in the up position and once I pulled them down, the top opened!!

Made my day!!!!

Cool, are you talking about the levers that allow the top to open a little from the back to aid loading stuff?

Yep that little switch in the back holds down on the tray, put the tray to the higher position and the top will not go all the way down.
