I have the CRX with the electrical detachable roof.
In operation the roof is detached and stowed in the boot and afterwards re-insalled in the closed position with no problems other than getting the warning light and the audible warning that the roof is not properly closed. On checking the roof IS properly closed.
The car has been back to the Honda dealer 4 times but the problem.
Anyone have suggestions?
Sincerely

Can anyone assist this person?
Peter - I am located in the US (California) and we were not fortunate to get your model.
However, I have owned some cars in the past where it has a similar warning system and usually what you need to check is that the contact switches that are used to determine the state of the sun roof (i.e. open or closed).
These switches tend to be very much like the door jamb switches in that they short to ground when they are "open" thus completing the circuit (i.e. turn on the warning light and sounding the audible warning).
Having said that, the switches could be malfunctioning or there's a short (short to ground) in the wire harness which is giving false readings. Or could be that the switches are loose or mis-aligned or not making full contact with the sun roof.
Since it's been back to the dealership four times, I would take it back and have them re-check it. In fact, I would take it back to them the next time it's showing that it's open when indeed it is not.
Sorry I couldn't have been more of an assistance...
Let me know what happens...
