soft top wont go down using key
well, it does, but only if i hold the key right next (i mean stuck to) the door handle little eye thingy.. i know it's not the battery, i replaced it.
is it the infra-red eye that is messed up? is there a way to replace it by myself? thanks

It's probably a bad IR sensor on the door handle. They do tend to be very flaky. This thread might be helpful if you want to repair it yourself:

However, I suggest forgettign about the IR function and getting the aftermarket SmartTop module You'll wonder how you ever got along without it! It uses the key's RF fucntion to remotely open and close the top - but without holding the button - three clicks does it. And you can open and close with one touch of the console button AND up to 25mph!
