I am new to this forum so if I missed anything in terms of introducing myself please let me know. I am the happy new owner of a 2007 xk convertible. I've been working hard getting her where she needs to be as previous owner clearly did not care for her very well. My problem is that the battery had low voltage causing the electronic gremlins I read so much about. I've purchased a new battery and went through the normal procedures in resetting various parts of car. Then we get to convertible top. UGH! Now let me start by saying the top was open when I first diagnosed this battery issue. When I switched out the old better for the new battery I manually put the top back up as it was stuck in down position. Now the rear windows are still down and no matter what I do i can't get the rear windows up . So after resetting front windows, parking brake, and radio I tried to reset top manually. I pull the cord to open the tonneau cover and nothing. It appears to have give in it but not as if it is broken but as if it never fully went back into close position. So now I can't reset cover according to direction in the manual.

What am I missing? It's driving me mad! Fortunately this is a second car so I've aired on the side of safety and left her in the garage. Is is possible that when I manually closed the top I didn't crank the lever that vloses the roof enough to pull that cord in place? When I cranked it the cover closed with a tight seal. And before I put battery in I had closed roof manually and did not get any messages saying latch not closed. Then after battery change is when that message came on. I figured that was part of all the messages that come up after a battery change.

Can anyone help me? I live over an hour away from dealer and really want to drive my new beauty.
