Default Help, roof panel problem!

I have a 2010 GS. The rear latch on the roof panel will not close!! When I push up on the latch, it reaches up, but it appears that the bar that it is suppose to grab is to far forward, or the hook is not reaching towards the bar enough to latch if that makes sense. Help!!

Your roof is not completely seated - take it off and try again - make sure the male and female receivers are properly aligned in the front then push forward and down on the back

Look out - that's the passenger ejector system!

Got it figured out, whew! It was the button at the front of the latch. I guess I pressed to hard and it ended up just under the edge of the slot where it sits and was keeping the latch from reaching back as far as it needs to couple. All is well now.
