Cabriolet soft top storage box

[Speckle]

Hi guys was wondering if you could help me with an issue! I have a 2012 Audi A5 cabriolet facelift edition s line 1.8 tfsi. 

As other cab owners will know the boot has a storage box that can be raised when the roof in up. Thus giving you more room for your boot storage. 

Well according to my owners manual it says I can keep this box fixed in the up position allowing me to have more storage at all times and automatically comes back down when I choose to take down the roof. 

Thing is when I go to push my roof storage box up it just comes back down under weight like against the springs that are inside the box. It doesn't stay up basically. According to the manual also there is a release lever that releases the raised box back down if you so desire. But I can't find this either? 

Anyone know why this is? Does my vehicle simply just not have it?

 

Regards
