Hi Niko,

If you have a reliable OBD tool to read the codes, it can be incredibly helpful. Take a look at the post below for some valuable information.

Lexus hardtop convertible system is complex and you might need to spend a significant amount of money on repairs.

what is the actual fault code? don't buy a new hinge... hinges never break and are made of metal.

Honestly they don't tell me the fold code and i dont have an obd reader to take it..i order one used hinge from usa 900 dollars and i wait in 2weeks.i hope that is the damage and nothing more..when i put it in the car i inform you..thanks ...

That is a lot of money. I hope it doesn’t turn into endless money pit.

Be sure you read the instructions on opening the top. If, for example, the package guard isn't pulled all the way back and inserted into the floor of the trunk properly, the top won't come open. Note that the windows need to be down all the way.
