Hi guys and galls,

im wondering if someone could help me at all, I have a 2007 xkr convertible, brought it out of storage and put a new battery on, went to open hood and it opened four inches then stopped, went thru the procedure it shows in book to stow the hood and let the torneo cover rest back down but it will not latch back down, did the operation in reverse and got the hood back over and used Allen  key to tighten hood down to windscreen, so at this point the torneo cover is tight down with roof holding it down but still not latched and comes up on dash as not latched. Many thanks for any help, Liam

purchased the same auto.

have ran across difficulties with the roof as well. i have found that maybe more than one procedure needs to be done. you may need to pull on the torneo cover cable to unlock it then try the top reset. i had to begin the reset by finishing the top down procedure first, letting the tornado cover to lock. then my top worked correctly. 

hopes this helps
