Hello,

I love everything about the C70 except one thing. It has a recurring, intermittent problem with the convertible top warning system. About 25-33% of the time after starting the engine, the convertible top warning light goes on. When you start driving, it "dings" incessantly. The only way to stop the ding warning is to stop the car, engage the parking brake, and press the convertible top button. The top opens partially, then returns to closed position. It's quite inconvenient especially in the rain.

Two mechanics looked at this, one was totally dumbfounded, and the other said the electronic sensor needed to be adjusted by a Volvo dealer that has the proper computer equipment. Two dealers claim they have no way to fix the problem.

If anyone else knows about this problem and a solution, please share. Thank you.

Karen

Have you had it to the Volvo dealer ship?Did they just calibrate the position sensor or did they replace it?Sounds like you have a bad sensor.
