Default Corvette C7 2014 Top doesn't work "only manual operation possible"

I found a thread which is 3 years old where im not sure if the issue was really fixed so im posting here again.

Since a couple of weeks i have problems with the Top of my C7 convertible.

Sometimes Top works, sometimes it doesnt work.

Lately it barely works at all.

I start the car and get the error "only manual operation of top possible". I tried everything what is written about this in the owners manual but obviously nothing works.

If i drive around for a while sometimes the top starts working after like 30minutes. Up until then i try like every 5 minutes and get the same aforementioned error. After 30minutes all of a sudden top does go down with no issues, does go up later when i park it in the garage as well.

2 days later i take it for a spin and same issue again, top doesnt work. Had it at the dealer now twice and they checked all kinds of stuff but they obviously didn't manage to fix it and seem quite clueless in regards to this issue.

Maybe somebody here knows something so that i can point them in the right direction because im honestly getting annoyed having to bring the car there once a week and not having a working car here in summer...

thanks in advance
