[R129 SL] tech info needed on soft top sensors

[CS]

most limits are set by holding the switch in question for about 5 seconds
after reaching the endpoint. This is true for the top switch, and window
switches.

Here's the top reset procedure.

Top out of synch
(This info is in the owner's manual referring to the syncronization. This
may be more info than you need at this time, but you never know when it
might be helpful.)

When the battery has been replaced or interrupted, in order for the top
and/or roll bar to operate you first have to syncronize the windows.

Situation one - Top up

The procedure is to press the up side of the window button and make sure the
window is in the uppermost position, then continue to hold the button for an
additional 5 seconds. Do each window the same. At this point you should be
able to operate the top button and the light should go out. If the roll bar
button light does not go out then press it to go up and then hold for 5
seconds - you should be able to hear the pump at this point. Then press it
down and hold for 5 seconds. It should have everything back in order
(syncronized) and lights out. If not you may have some other problem and it
is best for the shop to hook up the computer and check for any faults.

Situation Two - Top down

Syncronize windows as in the above procedure, but in addition up will have
to manually raise the soft top. NOTE: REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION WHEN RAISING
THE TOP MANUALLY! This procedure is in the owner's manual, but basically you
have to open the lid (boot) with combination allen/open wrench that comes in
tool kit. Raise lid, carefully pull the soft top up and out and fasten
(lock) the front of the soft top to the windshield - using the allen/open
wrench. Leave the bow section of the soft top in the upward position and the
lid up (this part is not described in the owner's manual but the mechanic
said that is how it should be done). At this point operate the top button
for raising the soft top and it should finish the raising procedure. (We
were a little hesitant about raising the soft top manually, but we found out
that it isn't too difficult and can be done in about 5 minutes with two
people.)

Hello all,
	Still looking for a way to reset the top button. All locks are
in place with the top up but the switch stays on and blinks/beeps when
I move my sl. Thanks for looking...
