Hi charliebarbie and welcome to the forum! :wave:

The boot need to be opened using the key each time you lock the car so that is quite normal. As for the roof, that works using a series of switches. It sounds like the boot closed switch isn't registering. Take a look in the Problems section for details of the roof switch locations.

There are a few threads asking the same question but I assure you it's normal, mine's the same, it can be a pain in the bum sometimes though.
