I have to push the top up or top down buttons constantly instead of the top going up or down to the automatic stops by itself.

Never mind. I called customer service and reset the roof/trunk.

With the car engine running and the car in park, push the top close button until the roof closes completely, and then hold for an additional 5 seconds. Then open the top all the way and hold the button for an additional 5 seconds. The car top should automatically set to the "sun roof" stop. Check to make sure the roof reset by re-opening to the 3/4 open stop. The roof/trunk should be reset, which it did.

Nice, we don't have the information so this is good.

Thanks.
