2007 Top won't go down
2007 XK
My son fell asleep at his soccer tourney last week with the car off but the a/c was blowing on him. Ran the batt down so we had to jump it. Now the top won't go down. I keep getting the "luggage cover isn't in place" message but it is in place. I didn't get an owners manual with this car so I can't turn to that. Any help?
Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing here that you jump started it by removing the cover and the battery cover to get at the battery. If so then when you put it back together you either have the cover in wrong or you damaged the switch. Re-check your work. If you did not touch the cover and used the jump points in the rear left side of the boot then you have a switch failure.

How do you do the global positioning on the key fob? I know sure the luggage cover is seated correctly. I have no clue where the switch is so maybe I did damage it?

If you have the 'luggage cover is not in place' message, nothing else you do will get the top to move until that is resolved. I do not recommend manually operating the top under these circumstances...it will just complicate the situation.

Are there any metal pieces on the connections of the luggage separator? I see where there are two metal "post" so to speak on the car itself where the separator sits but nothing metal on the separator itself. I just found a little metal clip laying in my trunk and I have no clue where it came from.

Is it fully deployed and locked in place with the tongue pointed up?
And the trunk is fully closed?
Bummer if that's all true.
Hope you get it fixed easily.

However, any reputable independent repair shop should be able to find the problem.

No one has yet mentioned the obvious: the problem started with the battery being run down. Low voltage in the XK results in random electronic issues, and yes, that does include the operation and latching of the convertible top. Job 1 here is to ensure that the battery is putting out full voltage - full voltage.
Virtually all complaints regarding electrical components on the XK are solved by simply ensuring a constant full voltage supply.
