In a 1999 Volvo C70 convertible the light on the switch that operates the convertible top stays on what is wrong?

#143 of 170 2008 Volvo C70 Roof malfunction by rwelliver

Feb 19, 2011 (2:53 pm)

This morning, I had the roof down on my 2008 C70 and opened the trunk (don't ask why). After I opened it, the collpased roof sarted to open, stopping when it hit the open trunk lid. The Owner's Manual and the Dealer had nothing to say. The Dealer and their Service Department even said there is no re-set button. There is. It's a small, yellow, square button along the back rim of the trunk. Just pressed it, and the roof collapsed back into the trunk well.
I hope this helps someone. Even a dealer.

The yellow button is a push-up and push-down switch to raise and then lower the roof assembly a few inches so that you can stow cargo when the roof is "down." I believe Volvo's design goal was to allow a golf bag to fit. You must have pushed the button without realizing it. What you describe is a normal operation and described at length in the owner's manual.

Can you tell me how to get the crank out of my trunk since the boot cover is stuck all the way up and will not go down and the cloth top will go most of the way down or most of the way up but stops about 3 inches from the wind shield? I am about to unbolt the boot from the hardware that is attached to the drive screws so I can get the trunk opened and then when I do does the crank go into that slot on each shed in the back seat?

Julie,
 
I know you dealt with this awhile ago. We just had the window cave in on the convertible top. Many are saying we need a whole new top? What did you do? Is there a way to seal or go to an Upholstery shop?

#147 of 170 C70 roof "pins" miss-locating by 05clue

Oct 18, 2011 (2:27 am)

I have an 05 C70 soft top. The roof works fine but sometimes when it is closing the left-side locating-pin (which locates on the top of the windscreen) misses it's slot and sits awkwardly until I raise the roof again and reclose it. It's not the end of the world, but it is blxxxxy annoying.
Can anyone help?
cheers

Can you guide it in by hand the first time? Would definitely be annoying to operate the top twice.

Yes I can, and it will locate usually on the second hit. It is only a few thou adrift!
