This button is pretty straightforward. It’s what activates the mechanism that either releases or secures your roof panel, whether it’s a targa top, a sunroof, or a fully removable hardtop. It sends a signal to the latch or motor that controls whether the roof panel is locked in place or free to move. Sometimes it’s a simple mechanical release, other times it’s electrical, triggering a solenoid or motor. Basically, it’s the starting point for operating your roof. Without it working, you’re not going to be opening or closing the roof—simple as that. It's the command center for the whole operation. It doesn't do the lifting or sliding, but it tells everything else to get started. Well, obviously, if you want to enjoy an open – air driving experience, this needs to be functioning. But it’s also a safety item. A faulty button can leave your roof panel insecure while you’re driving, which is obviously a huge concern. You’ll notice if it’s not working correctly because the roof won't latch properly, or it might not release at all. It acts like a shield, keeping everything secure. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and sometimes a simple new button is all you need to get things moving again. It’s one of those parts that seems small, but makes a big difference. Proven reliability: Button (MPN 1Y0871413A3PT) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
