    Can anyone help?
    Every time it heavy rains, the Operation indicating light for the Active Top comes on (illuminated state - not flashing) and I cannot open the boot. There is no problem with it in dry weather so presume there must be a sensor getting wet somewhere but I have no idea where to look??? Anyone have any ideas?

    Many thanks,
    ChrisFD

    Have you checked in the boot? A lot of people have a problem with water coming through the brake light seal and soaking the boot :-((. This has had an effect on people's electrics at times. If the carpet in there seems dry check underneath just to be sure.

    Also, a low battery charge can cause some very strange problems in the copen, so it might be worth checking that too.
