Convertible top issue
Has anyone had experience with the power top being intermittently inoperative? My 2019 GS (18,000 mi.) is currently at the dealership for this issue. They don't seem to know what causes this. I've had the experience of trying to close the top after a few of hours of top down driving and nothing happens. But, later the top will close when the switch is pressed. Conversely, the top would not open, but performed perfectly when I was at the dealership.

Wow 3 weeks at the dealership. Too bad they didn't order the parts and let you drive it. Good you have it back and in working order. I wonder why it needed two trim panels maybe they were damaged upon removal. It seems as if it only needed a sensor and a cylinder but good you have it back again.
