Am I missing a step???

[Finally got it !]

When putting down the top the trunk will not close... The latch behind the drivers seat is locked. Am I missing a step? I did not close the trunk hard. Maybe I should be using a little more force? Any comments appreciated...

Sometimes it takes 2 -3 times to shut mine and stay shut.With or without top up.If you drop trunk lid with a little pressure from center mine will latch 1st time.I think it is really air tight.Just my two cents

I've found it necessary to walk around the car and push down on all parts of the top when first folded back before closing the trunk. Even so, the trunk always pushes on the top a bit too when it shuts.

Push harder.... It'll latch.

Yep, got to walk around and push this thing down before closing the trunk, then I just let the trunk fall from up high. It still compresses the soft top.

PROPER PROCEDURE TO SHUT TRUNK LID
SECTION 1234 ARTICLE F SECTION Z
A-make sure top is down or up completely

B-Get directly behind center of deck lid

C-sing out loud the wiggles song"chuga chuga big red car"

D-dance around and clap hands together while singing

E-When finished shut deck lid

F-If it fails to latch FOLLOW G-H

G-Cuss out loud

H-stomp feet jump up and down repeat step G

I-Then when you are completely wore out shut lid again alittle harder

J-if needed atempt step I 3 more times if fails start over with step A
