Default just fixed it.....holy cow that was scary.....

All I had to do was push on the Trunk like as if I was closing it.....(pushing down on the spoiler is what I did.....)

Never accidentally press the Trunk release button while operating the Top.......

it was by accident.....


Am Glad I Fixed it.......wow!!!!!!!

Default Trunk release button

Good job figuring it out. We all wonder what will happen if “it” gets pushed during top transition. I am glad it worked out ok.

Doesn't your significant other object to being called a wench? Why can't you just get out of the car and do it yourself?

wench = A voluptuous female pirate type woman, usally with a firey attitude, and usually seen around taverns and bars, seaside fishing towns, and wherever pirates roam.

"Argg! That wench be as ugly as a fox!"

how does this relate to a sc430 convertible top?
