Convertible Top won't open

I purchased an '05 Z4 3.0 for my wife for Christmas from an Acura dealer in NJ. Checked everything on the lot - seemed to be working fine.

Put it in the driveway this morning, and wanted to show off the red interior, but the automatic top wouldn't retract!

When I press the button, the windows go down, and the roof unlatches. It moves about an inch, then stops. I checked the position of the knobs in the trunk - the shelf is up as it should be. The outside temperature inicator is reading 41 deg F.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
B

Lots of interlocks. You may be victim of the perverse nature of inanimate matter. Take to dealer.

Reading some of the other postings, it sounds like this is most probably related to low hydraulic fluid. Does anyone have another opinion - or any suggestions on what I can try, other than to take it to the dealer?

BTW - the tray in the trunk is in the correct DOWN position, not up as I incorrectly stated before.
