My top is in the closed position physically, and when i close the roof latch it beeps that the top is closed, but opening and closing options just give me the three beeps, as if the car dosent believe the top is closed, i noticed someone else on the forums talk about a manual roof switch in the trunk, but that dosent sound real, and i cant find it, the problem just started one morning, i had the top down the night before, closed it, the next morning it was doing this. Thanks, SPC Earl Provorse

SOURCE: Bonnet latch will not open and bonnet is in closed position

the cable connecting the handle to the latch is broken. remove the front grille and access the latch assembly. you will be able to release by hand and then replace the cable.

SOURCE: im locked out from my trunk of my 2001 galant gtz

there should be a little lock/unlock switch by the trunk latch...and one of your seats should fold down so you might have to crawl through there and unlock it

SOURCE: Sunroof is tilt opened and won't close. Fuse is

The switch could simply be bad. Take the switch out, disconnect the wire harness from the switch, take a paper clip and hotwire the two metal prongs together to activate the closing position. This will tell you if the switch is bad.
If this doesn't work you may try pushing the glass closed manually, the only problem being that you will not be able to close it tightly enough to keep out the rain and the motor will still think that it is in the open position. After you find the problem and you repair it, you will need to open the glass back to the open position to restart.
If the motor is bad and needs to be replaced, let your local dealership do it, because you do not want to be responsible for pulling your ceiling down. Ceiling boards are brittle and can snap very easily. The carpet can be pulled away very easily. The clips love to snap under pressure. If your local dealership breaks anything while repairing it, they will be responsible for replacing it. Expect to spend about $250-350 in labor plus parts.

SOURCE: my 2001 325ci convertable bmw has the trunk light

The system is designed so that with the trunk open it will not open the roof. If the trunk is fully closed and the trunk light is still on, then find the switch in the boot which operates the light. If you disconnect any wires you could disable the boot completely. Including security.

HOW TO TURN OFF THE TRUNK OPEN ALARM


The 2012 Camry's trunk lid has a 'trunk open' alarm that shows up on the instrument panel as 'door open' red icon. It also turns on the door open beeping sound so long as the trunk lid is open. This is normal and is usually not a problem..

However, if you should need to carry a large item in the trunk and can't close the lid, be prepared to listen to the incessant door open sound with no means to turn it off!!

The trunk lid alarm 'switch' is operated by the trunk latch when you open or close the lid. By manually operating the latch to it's closed position, you can temporarily silence the alarm.

Using a small screwdriver, you can easily press the actuator and turn the alarm off.

Picture 1: trunk lid latch in the OPEN (Alarm ON) position.
25869102-i510t1jlut0klnxmyvvl3lbz-2-0.jpg
**WARNING**
YOU MUST RETURN THE ACTUATOR TO THE OPEN POSITION (ABOVE)
(ALARM ON) BEFORE YOU CLOSE THE LID. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY DAMAGE THE LATCHING MECHANISM
**WARNING**

DO THIS WITH THE TRUNK OPEN LEVER OR WITH THE REMOTE TRUNK OPEN BUTTON.

Picture 2: trunk lid latch in the CLOSED (Alarm OFF) position.
25869102-i510t1jlut0klnxmyvvl3lbz-2-1.jpg
IF YOU TRY TO CLOSE THE LID WITH THE LATCH IN THIS POSITION YOU MAY DAMAGE OR BREAK THE LATCHING MECHANISM

I have G6 convertible sensor "top not secure" warning on panel. However secure and working. The hard top just stopped opening. Please advise Deborah

Before taking this problem to the dealer, you might check this quick fix. I had the same problem on my 2007 Pontiac G6 Gt Convertible, and just resolved it.
First, you can access your trunk by disconnecting, and then reconnecting your negative battery terminal-this clears the safety code momentarily allowing the trunk to be opened using your trunk release button.
After you have the trunk open, check the wiring harness located in the top right corner of the trunk lid where the hinge is attached to the trunk lid. My wiring harness had come loose, allowing a wire to get stuck in the hinge, resulting in a cut wire-it was a red one. I spliced the wire back together, taped it up with electrical tape, and then secured the harness to the hinge assembly so wires couldn't come loose again. The problem resolved immediately with no further issues. Good luck.

BMW Z4 convertible top opened and now wont close. Motor runs then stops. Latch is stuck and the emergency pull cord will not release. How do I get to the latch to free the top?

try a spray lubricant into the motor mechanism and grease any visable wire cables that run from/to motor ,not the electrical cables the bare wire winder cables,also grease/ lubricate any accessable pivot/hinge points , gently pull the cord and gently push the roof back and forth occasionally trying motor with a bit of patience this should get the roof moving , also look for anything that may be snagging the roof/mechanism as there is a pressure protection system to stop the roof being fully closed on say someones hand so preventing injury

Holdern astra soft top stopped closing 2 inches from the end. Closed it manual. No obvious problems, just beeping when button is pushed. CAN I OPEN THE ROOF MANUALLY?

If you can close it manually with no obvious problems then opening it manually if there is no effort required should be ok. I would be checking the limiting position switch adjustment as that is what would be preventing from it closing all the way up

BMW roof is stuck closed with only one latch hooked!

There is a compartment on the top center of the windshield. This contains a bolt that released the latches that lock the top to the windshield. It takes an allen wrench to unwind the roof latch and it takes an infinite amount of turns.
