## What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a crack in the electric roof locking motor's helical gear can result in the catch lever no longer holding the roof firmly to the windscreen frame.  If both roof locking motors fail, the softtop could open while the car is in motion.  Correction:  Dealers will replace both roof locking motors.  The new electric motors have a stronger gear mechanism, which locks the roof into the closed position.  Also, a new sensor system within the motor assembly provides an improved control signal to the instrument cluster if the roof is not properly closed when the driver drives off.
