I just recently noticed (didn’t do it last year) that if I’m driving on a cool night, and have the heat going... when I put the top up the heat immediately shuts off (the second the top latches) the fan goes to high and cold air is now supplied
For no good reason. It’s strange in that the temperature in the car is less than the setpoint (by 10F or more) Why is putting the top up immediately changing the heat /cool cycle? As well, it’will take setting the heat to 80+, when I know the interior temp is around 60F for the heat to mildly kick in. This only happens when I put the top up while using heat...I’m assuming it a sofware glitch, anyone else?

Mine does this as well. It will also do it when I put the top down, but only if I do not have the climate set to "Auto." My guess is there is two modes that can be set (top up/down) and it is recalling the last for each. I will be taking it out today so I will have to test and see. I will let you know what I discover.

I have not noticed but will test it out on my car ASAP and let you know the results.

PS.. are you putting the top up while driving or parked?

Top up when parked.. as soon as the roof latches, the fan speed picks up and cold air. I don’t think I had mine in auto mode when it happens.

Mine did this too. was running the heater with the top down. Got cold air immediately after the top latched in the UP position (i was not stopped).

OK I just tried it on a quick grocery trip, full blast, HI setting(not automatic)and nothing changed when the top closed and latched. Still blowing hot air and fan speed running full blast.

I will pay closer attention and see if things change, or maybe a setting that is tripped automatically with the top operation.

thanks for the responses...not the end of the world since 95% of the time I drive w/top down and no heat.

Mine does the same thing. And intermittently, the AC light will turn on also.

Not the same issue but worth posting because it may be related...

I just picked up my '17 last Saturday and it did the same exact thing. Outside temp with maybe 70 and as soon as the top latched, the A/C came on at a high fan setting. Didn't know if I had something set incorrectly.
