Hi Paul,
Thats funny in a earlier post you told a member to turn the radio up to ignore the beeping noise from the lid not closed completely. I have been driving for 5 months with that beeping noise and I just turn up radio really loud. I also made some makeshift back windows because they wont go up either. My top opens just fine, however when I go to close it the "I think its the trunk Lid?" per your diagram "top & Components" Is #22(Package Tray) the Trunk lid? I have(every time) to go around to the back and gently but firm press down on it and it closes.
I did take a road trip to Orlando for a convention and it rained heavy all the way there and the top were it latches leaked on me the whole way. Im thinking thats telling me that is it obviously is not latching completely therefore the back windows wont close so the lid wont finish??????IDK???? How much is the machine you said to buy for diagnosing things?
