You guys need the modifry fix. If you're sitting in your car with the top up, there are 2 elastic bands above you. Those 2 elastic bands are stretched and old. You see the metal bar that it is attached to? Watch that bar when you open your top. Half way through opening, the bar is supposed to be pulled back by the elastic bands.

But wait, ZONG, you have a 2005. The bands should not be worn out yet. You should bring it back to the dealership for warranty. JDMish, you probably have the same problem I had.

And Yes, you should be able to open the secret compartment even if your top is down.
