Default Convertible power Top problem

Today I had put the Top down and was 3 minutes down the road when the warning bell started up....darn that thing is loud ..messge said "Top not Secure" ..This is a very new 2006.

Stopped and put vette into park and tried to raise top, but nothing..The Top would not respond to either up or down movement. ...drove on a bit( 10 min) and the warning chimes ( I swear they get louder each time) started again, so stopped and got out and could see nothing amiss...Got back in and tried to raise Top and this time no problem . Since then I have lowered and raised the Top several times and the warning message and chimes have not happened again.

So was this a one time glich or an ill omen of electronic problems to come ?

I hope this is one time thing. I just got my C6 vert last week and everything is working fine. Good luck to you.

But i would go and have it check out at the dealer.

I have had the top not respond to the switch once. Try to re-index the windows fixed mine. If you unhook the battery the top will not work until you index the widows. Take them all the way down and back up.

Interesting. One time my top would not respond. I ran the windows up and down, bingo, no problem since. There is somekinda weirdness between the top and windows. Jung was writing about it just before he died...
