Headrests, rollbar will not reset
Halfway through putting my top down it stopped, I had to move it manually. Now the headrests are suck in the up position. I've tried holding the up button for 20 sec, it makes noise but will not unlock them. Has anyone had this problem?

It's in the manual. There is a tool in your trunk to release the bow latch (ceiling of trunk) and the top storage compartment latch (between back seat and compartment. You also have to turn a screw in your trunk, in the back along the base there is a hidden compartment that will provides access. Counterclockwise to free the top. The rest is just manhandling your top.

How did you open the trunk?
usually when the rollbar is stuck the the roof will not work and the trunk will receive the order not to open.
Please don't tell me with the f... key cause i tried in mine and I just can't get the trunk to open.
As for the noise you here in the trunk when you try to reset well I read a reply here on the site about that.
Someone posted the same problem and got it fixed.

Yes, the key is the only way to open it. I had to spray some lube in the lock and molest it for about 10 minutes to get it to turn. Your other option is to extract a tail light to get access to the trunk. Basically destroy and rip it out, I read a post where someone did it.

Thank you for your reply.
I already fixed my problem but the funny thing is that I had to take off all the back seat, the center speaker and basically everything just to get to the trunk.... and I didn't.
But I could reach that small ship by inserting my hand through the seat speaker and replaced it. Suddenly everything worked,. like magic. I still have to fix my trunk lock though. I read the ship replacement thing on the forum but just can't remember who.

I took the back of the seat/trunk apart and still can't get to the roll bar mechanism, it's covered by metal. I figured out that I can push the down button and sit on the roll bars to get them to go down. However they still re-deploy. Does anyone know how this mechanism works?
gismo3x: How do you take the back seat out, can you see the roll bar mechanism from there?

I'm attempting to open the top. I press the switch to open and the top doesn't move. However the roll bar does. When I press open it goes up and close it goes down. But the top still will not open. Does anyone know what the problem is??? And/or how to fix it??
