Operating Roadster top from outside car

Have you tried reading the owner's manual???

Ha Ha very friendly forumer and from TO too! Yep I did read the manual , item 3-21 to 3-26 . I was asking whether you can CLOSE the top from outside. Opening the top is not the issue here. Maybe I was mistaken but I did recall some reviewers said they could operate the top from outside. It would be nice if you can do this when you get out of your car i.e closing the top after you get out from your car. Oh well!

Here is your quote “ >10sec I havent managed to get the top to go up . Maybe I'm missing some other steps and the manual does not explain this well at all
Could somebody here tell me how ... “

wtf

SUSU -- it is my interpretation of both conversations with my dealer as well as the "omission" in the owners manual that the external door button option is only for opening the top. Heck, until I read your post, I wasn't even aware of THAT option, but I'm a systems engineer -- reading the manual is something I rarely do....

The sales man don't know crap!! He said the car needed to be in park with foot on the brake. I asked him about opening the top from the outside and he had no clue what I was talking about.

To answer your question, No you can not close the top from the outside.
