I would suggest you buy an owners manual, but the convert top switch is usually in the center console, it will show a little symbol that looks like a top

The handbrake must be on.

- If the hand brake trick doesn't fix it, the convertible top computer is seeing a fault and has shut the system down. You'll need someone with a factory tool to talk to the car.

If the top doesnt move it is probably a bad microswitch on windsheild header, It may think one side is still latched. You will need TECH2 diag tool to figure this out
