Please post if you find a good mechanic, t.i.a, Sara
The $5000 number is nonsense, the only reason they would quote that would be the fact that they have NO idea what the problem is - they are trying to get you to give up - or so it sounds to me.

Your post does not tell me/us enough to even get started. So, you say you have a new top; ok. Why was it replaced? Second, we need to know just what is it doing - tops will refuse to move for even small reasons - like a bad microswitch.

If you unlatch the top from the frame and push it up, do the windows go down?
If so, what happens when you press the button?

Let's see if we can help you!
