Default HTC trouble

I took delivery of my 2021 HTC yesterday. The third time I put the top up it would not close property. The locking latches deployed before the top was closed and they hit the locking bars. After a few attempts opening and closing the top it closed but I have a warning saying “top not closed”. The car will only go max 58 MPH. Anyone else have an issue like this?

This sounds like a different problem than what's described in that thread.

Just drive it to the dealer at 55 mph and let them fix it...

"...and let them fix it..." More correctly, let them (the dealer) TRY to fix it. In any event, good luck with it.

Yes, if your Chevy dealer cannot fix a Chevy, then that would be a problem.

Just curious what the outside temperature was? Could that be the cause if it was in the freezing range... The book says not to open or close below certain temps.
