Check that the divider panel in the trunk is properly seated. If it got knocked out of position, the roof mechanism will not work. Make sure it is vertical and properly seated at the base of the divider.

I get the message "Top Unlocked". Can anybody suggest a way to correct the situation?

Thanks

That small pull cord releases the tonneau cover. Press around on the front and side edges of the cover, see if you can get it to re-latch.

Is that what this pull cord is for? When the problem started the top was raising with difficulty and I could hear the whining noise of the pump that didn't have enough oil to operate. But now nothing works at all. I get the "top unlatched" message in the dashboard information window but the pump does not engage. Nothing happens.

There’s a sticky at the top of this forum with the electrical guides. Select the one which includes your VIN.

See the Sticky Threads at the top of this Forum and scroll down to the XK/XKR Workshop Manuals & Electrical Guides.

Default Battery replaced now stopped3in up no nothing

Battery replaced went to put top down thing unlatched windows down and top started to move up from windshield 4 inches and stopped. Now nothing
tried to relieve pressure on pump. Still couldn't overpower the top.
While messing with pump i noticed the pump was really hot. Fluid level looks ok.
Your ideas please.

Front windows need to be reset after battery change for top to work properly. See owners manual or other threads on the subject.

I'm having a problem I haven't seen anyone else complain about. When I try to lower the top, it "tries", but it sounds like whatever latching system is in the top of the windshield frame will not let go of the ragtop. It goes click, click, click, click, like some gear is stripped out or something. Is there a way to get it to manually unlock from the windshield frame?

I suspect you do sort of the reverse of the manual reset procedure in the owners manual and use the allen key to release the overhead locks.

Hold the "top down" button for a 10 count and it will continue to lower.
