Ok, i have a small but annoying problem with my hood. With the hood down and stowed, if i start the engine and drive away the doors auto-lock (something to do with the Toad alarm i think). When the doors lock the tonneau cover just pops open about 10mm, so i have to stop and press the close-roof button again. Anyone come across this and any ideas on how to stop it? :confused

Sounds like a boot-coverlid innerlock problem.
What I can suggest is, is now when you lock the doors, the bootlock closes too.
You can isolate the boot from the rest of the central locking.
I suggest you do this, so when the alarm locks the doors after starting, the boot will stay unaffected and maybe, this won't trigger the rooflid to unlock.

My top mechanics are all screwed up. Therefore, my motors are disconnected and if I drive with the top down, the lid can flap open at any time.
Having said that, when I have my top UP and closed, sometimes, after driving, if I go over the right kind of bump, my doors will all lock. If my top is down, this never happens. I think it has something to do with the microswitch (S3 I believe) being closed, and then comming open during driving. Probably a safety feature.
Check your little hook thingys that pull the lid closed and make sure all is sound with them. You migh need to re-tension your cables that connect from the lid motor to the hook thingys (gotta love my ultra-technical terminology). :)
