RobbiZ4 Okay Robbi. I finally managed to catch my top malfunctioning on camera. Here is a link:



I have a SmartTop module installed and am doing everything in the video from the key fob (I never touch the top with my hand). On the first try, the top freezes once the pieces are stacked. The light on the console goes from green to red. I re-start the opening process from the key fob and the top finishes the opening process normally. I then close the top. Then I reopen the top and it opens completely normally on the second attempt without freezing.

To me this is confusing. If there were a cable or hydraulic line issue, it seems like it would be a consistent problem.

I guess one thing I haven't done yet is plug an OBD reader in when the malfunction occurs and the light turns red. Maybe it would show a code?

Would love your thoughts. Thanks!
