Default A dumb question?

I just decided to put my top down and noticed that I can't open the trunk with it down. It seems to bind on the plastic parcel shelf. Are you supposed to be able to open the trunk or not? The dealer didn't even know, and they are a 5 star dealership!

That's what I thought, they can make this electrical, and mechanical engineering marvel, but can't get the trunk to open right. What the heck at least it doesn't rattle or leak water.

With the roof fully retracted in the trunk. You should be able to open the trunk lid.

Check the two retracting D's or ears at each side of the parcel shelf to see if they're well-aligned, (roof is retracted).
