Convertible specific problem

I found a problem that would have to be called operator screw up. I replaced the battery last week, for the second time, the first one was bad. After installation, I got several error codes on the dash.



"Top not secure"
"Open then close driver window"
"Complete top motion to open trunk"
"Only manual operation of top possible"


Obviously a sensor problem but where. I took it to the dealer and found out that behind the battery is a pivot mechanism for the tonneau that has a sensor connected at the bottom. Apparently I bumped it with the new battery and unplugged it. They also had to re-flash some firmware on one of the modules that had become corrupted.


I just wanted to make all the other convertible owners aware of the possible problem. Obviously my fault but it also seems to be a potential for happening too easily. It needs some kind of shield.
