Is there a way to bypass/disarm the trunk partition sensor so that the convertible power top will still operate, when the partition is removed?

I'm not sure how the car senses whether the partition is up or not. But raising the partition and securing it into place must activate some sort of switch, either magnetically or physically. If it's magnetic, securing a magnet in the right location should do it (you might have to experiment with polarity). If it's a physical connection, find a way to keep the switch depressed.

Alternately, if you can access the switch, just connecting the wires to each other (if the switch closes with the partition up) or disconnecting one from the switch (if the switch opens) should make the car think the partition is always up.

Just be careful not to lower the top on something that will interfere with it's motion.

There is a push in switch on the passenger side connection. Take an Volt/ohm/milliamp meter and get some readings on the wires coming out of the switch. It might be as simple as shorting the wires to make the partition "be" in place. Car should probably be running while you take the measurements.

The push in switch that was used on the C6 was replaced with a magnetic switch on the C7s. If you move a screw driver around the carpeting near the grommet on the partition you will feel the magnet embedded in the partition.

I've used a flat, rectangular magnet, secured by rubber bands beside the fastener pin to allow top movement. It is polar sensitive, so if the top doesn't move, and you get a message to fasten the partition, flip the magnet over.

If you want a more permanent work around you can disconnect the plug on the switch from inside the top stowage compartment with the tonneau cover raised. you can then jumper the two wires together.

Perfect!! Thanks for your help!

Anyone finding this thread like I did, I was unsuccessful trying to jumper the plug on my 2017 grand sport. I was only successful with the magnet method.
