I've gotta vent. It was my fault. Went to put the top up the other day and all I got was the trunk lid rising, nothing else. Tried a couple times; same thing. Got the lid down and headed to the dealer. Kept it overnight and called me today saying it would cost me $343 to fix. "What about the warranty?" Nope. Seems an errant fire extinguisher had gotten under the top mechinism and jammed it. They had to dissassemble the bulkhead behind the passengers seat to access the jam. And it was REALLY jammed. The one issue was they were afraid the extinguisher would blow and make an unholy mess. It's back now, and works like a charm.
So, be careful with even small items in the trunk.
