Ok, in the interest of science I forced myself to put the top down and go for a ride to my local drive-in. (it was tough, but somebody had to do it) While there, I pressed the top up/down button (without pressing the brake pedal), and it said...
wait for it...
"DEPRESS BRAKE". :eek
so, I'm thinking of taking both manuals over to the fireplace and performing some kind of ritual sacrifice... :reddevil
anyway, back to 'cat's problem - when I tried it, I also got a chime or bong or whatever you call it. 'cat, did you get the sound too? if you didn't get the tone, you probably need to get the DIC checked out. (there has GOT to be a better name for that) if you did get the tone, if may be a flakey switch or connection. either way I'd say if it happens again, have the dealer check it out. (wouldn't want the top going up and down at a stop light.

)
ok, my wife's reading over my shoulder - when she saw that last she cracked up and said it sounds like i'm describing bike week... :glol
