hi, i can post pics when im off of work. the top is now closed (a bit forcibly, so it would latch/seal). however now the sensor wont stop going off when i drive :( i think it may be broken but i know its sealed and safe. for now id like to just get the sensor off if anyone knows how. it would be great to have a functioning top but everything seems to need a bit of help to move even when it was working even though i can get it to seal completely. as far as i know the only ones who will even look at it is the dealership which is over and hour from me :(

if anyone is in the ca central valley area and willing to help or if anyone is anywhere and willing to even just facetime me to see, id greatly appreciate it.
not sure if that request is allowed on here so i apologize if its not.

here are the images of the closed top (the missing piece of my car that is missing at the corner is from an unrelated mishap)

What sensor are you talking about? I see you have a 3G spyder, and we are all 1G and 2G. Not saying you can't ask, but 2G spyders don't have any sensor warning the driver that the top is open or closed.


Also, the pic of your car from the back of the top makes your top look highly misaligned. Was it recently replaced?
