sounds like its broken, its supposed to raise up the top when you have it down so you can fit stuff into the trunk

You broke it! Yeah, it moves the top inside the trunk for more space. Nice idea for sure.

With the top down, it will raise stored top inside the trunk, to give you enough space to insert stuff into the trunk.

Sadly, from my experience, it works very seldom. If you have warranty on your car, have it checked.

Get the Renntech or Evosport intercooler, larger than the oem and helps you with the heat issue when you add mods ie Pulley etc.

The red button will do nothing unless the luggage cover thingy is pulled out and hooked into position. Only then will you be able to move the folded roof. I thought mine was fakked up once when I had the folded roof up in the air and it would not go down. Hooked the cover and down she went.
