I've had my roadster going on three weeks now.
I specifically remember what my salesman told me about how to bring the top up and ALWAYS turning the handle ALL THE WAY.
He also suggested bringing it down genlty (after the beep sound) by grasping the left side of the frame with the left hand......it does help to have two hands gently bringing it down and locking it into place.
I forgot to do it ONE time and I did hear that CLUNK. It's the metal hook slamming into the latch.
The reason why it's hard to bring down is because of the preset tension in the ragtop's frame.
It is good design I think.....it doesn't leak!! And that's a plus for me!
