    Your post lacks so much information it is impossible to determine. It is very possible, but you failed to say what deployed the airbag, or if that has been fully repaired or not. Does the to do anything at all? So many questions, I am stopping there.

    Sorry for the confusion for my California top failure. This is my first time posting. However, frontend collision made the airbags deploy. I had the damage repairs and drivers airbag replaced at a local body shop. I still need to repair the locked drivers seatbelt and find out why the dash displays "TOP FAILURE". So, I was asking if the top fail , like the seatbelt locking up, could be from the airbags being deployed and locking the top from opening? If so, what could be the reason and any remedy? The nearest Ferrari dealer is in Washington DC. Gene

    Did the crash activate the rollover protection?



    That can't be good for roof operation :D

    There was no rollover, only front fenders, lights, grill and hood replace. Gene

    Without Ferrari specific software diagnostic tools, it may be very difficult to diagnose. It very possible that the top has some error related to the crash. Alignment and sensor triggering is critical on those tops. I would encourage you tp find a Ferrari shop even if they are an independent that has proper diagnostic equipment. You can waste a ton of time trying to get by without the tools and it just cost more in the long run.
