2007 MItsubishi eclipse spyder Convertible top stuck open

Put the battery back in.

at trunk button override and jump switch if dont work have to make way to get through at back seat

my 0 8 mitsubishi eclispse spyder was hot wired went i got back
my top will not open check fuse

it sounds like your motor that opens and closes the top might be going out. with the motor going out it will not send the signal that the top is closed. get the motor for the top checked with a volt meter to see how much power is going to it. if theres a problem with the wiring and its not getting enough power to it, it wouldnt work properly. if it does have enough power goin to it then your motor might be going bad. hope this helps

Is your roof switch in the trunk set to manual?

your convertible latches either need to be tightened or replaced you can get them new from the dealer for like 15 dollars a piece. that's why my 03 eclipse spyder leaked.

changing the battery should not affect your conv. top ,the system runs on fluid pressure,have it checked at the dealership,2007 should still be under warranty-good luck

first unlock latches locate up on roof under the sunvisors.
then roof switch located on center consoul just before the shifter. back to you to open, and forward to close.
if that dont work then check fuse
if not that check wiring.
if not that then its the motor.

There are 2 motors in the back located behind the speaker pannels on each side of the back seat. fist make sure they are both working. second there is a switch inside your trunk on the drivers side loceted behind the trim pannel to the tail light to switch from motors to manual top removal. third if your still lost the suport bar closest to the front of the top (not the one against the window with the clips) but the silver one has 2 smal black piviting bars on each end that sometimes get stuck try manualy removing the top and pushing that bar to the back of the car. Hope this helps you
