Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Thanks, I just need to figure out how to do the search

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

When I hear the top latch and before it begins to cycle again I can stop and manually raise the front windows but not the back. Indicator light does says top not secure/locked. In the down mode, top functions normal lowering the front windows. when pressing the window switch down, I do hear a clicking. Previously I had to replace a rear top support bracket and needed to readjust the flaps to get the top to operate. Perhaps the top need recalibrating so I can get the rear windows to close?

Check that the hook that secures the top at the center of the windscreen has the proper cover on it. If the hook does not engage the switch that is at the center of the windscreen, it can cause issues. A replacement cover for the hook can be obtained.
