Default Convertible Top Won't Latch

Hi All,

I just finished replacing all the hoses and rams for the top of my 2000 XKR.
No leaks and I learned a lot about how to disassemble the interior of my car.

The problem is that the top goes up, but it will not latch shut. It gets within 1 inch of closing and stops.

If I latch it manually and press the switch to raise the rear windows, it unlatches.

I have raised and lowered it multiple times, reset the windows and did a hard reset. But the problem remains.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John

I would also like to thank Redline for his suggestion on how to remove the tread finisher. It worked like a charm.

Check that the hoses have not been crossed in the change and that the header electrical plugs have been refitted correctly and are secure.

Thanks Norri,

It was the electrical plug.
I reseated it and that is what it needed to complete that last inch and lock.
