Hey there, I just bought a new daily yesterday. An 05 6spd black roadster. I'm in love. I'm experiencing something weird with the top though. At the dealer, the car top opened and closed just fine. It was really neat. As soon as i drove it off the lot it stopped working. First, i was closing the top and it took forever, then suddenly went really fast and slammed down closed. Now it doesn't move at all. I hear the motor running to try and move it but it doesn't move at all. I'm so lucky i found the tool to open it manually in the trunk. So far i've just been doing that....I know it has the potential to work as it was demonstrated right in front of me just yesterday.

Here is what i've been doing to try and open the top powered.
1)unlatch top, push up, windows go down.
2)press the open top switch, rear window unlatches then motor just whirrs.

If i am trying to close the top powered after manually putting it down. all that happens is the tonneau pops up, thats it.

thats it. The vertical divider in the trunk is latched correctly and the trunk lock is engaging. Almost ripped off the handle trying to figure that one out.
