ABSTRACT:
A latching system and method for a canopy are provided. Devices are partially embedded in the canopy and latches are slideably received within a canopy rail of the vehicle. The latches are controlled by a latch controller and lock the canopy to the vehicle. A canopy position sensor senses the position of the canopy, and a canopy controller controls the position of the canopy. The latch controllers control the position of the one or more latches based on the sensed position of the canopy or the status of the canopy controller. A latch position sensor senses the position of the latches and a vehicle position sensor senses the position of the vehicle. The canopy controller controls the position of the canopy based on the sensed position of the latches and the sensed position of the vehicle.
