    Convertible power tonneau cover no workie workie

    Push the button, nothing happens. No noise at the motor or anything.

    It was working before I went out of town just fine. I just used it when I did the coilover install. Left the car alone for 3 weeks or so and came back to a dead battery. Jumped it, now it doesn't work.

    Wouldn't be a big deal really (have hardtop) except I have a suspension rattle I need to diagnose...need to get in there!

    I feel like it's something simple...and stupid. Searched around for a couple of hours, didn't find anything particularly helpful.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

        Checked all the fuses, yeah...

        If something snapped wouldn't I still hear the motor?

          You can manually open it. Open the trunk, take the long pin tool out of the tool kit. On the cover in the trunk that holds the motors, there are two holes. The one on the left is for the tonneau cover motor, the one on the right is for the top motor.

          Insert the tool into the hole and pull to the right and it will disconnect the motor from the gearing mechanism and let you open it manually.

          You will need to resync the motors after to get them to work again. Google the procedure.
