Check the convertible top's hydraulic fluid level first, as low fluid can cause issues with operation. If the fluid level is fine, inspect the fuses related to the convertible top system. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
Thanks fluid and fuses seem ok. It's fine opening the roof but not closing. Closing has to be done manually and the boot then won't open.

Inspect the convertible top's microswitches or sensors, as they can sometimes fail or become misaligned, preventing the top from closing properly. These switches ensure the top is in the correct position to operate. If you're unsure, it might be best to have a professional check it out, as it can be a bit complex. Let me know if you need further assistance or if you have any updates!
