Default Re: Convertible Top Mechanical Issues

So here are all the details... The top movement was fine when I bought the car 6 days ago. On day 2 it started to opening and closing with a very jerky movement when I tried to lower the top. It would move 5 inches and stop. I would release the power button and press again and it would move jerky 5 inches and stop. I continued this process until it was in the boot and hard cover locked in place. When I tried to raise the top to the closed position it did the same BUT the back window would not rise so the hard cover could not close back in place. Even when I manually tried to raise the top it would only budge a few inches so not enough room for the hard cover to close. It was still under pressure I thought so I read if you turn on the key, hold open button for 5 seconds after turning off the key it would release the pressure. Sure enough that worked so I lowered the top back into the boot and tried raising it. As I tried the power button nothing happened. No motor sound, the hard cover did not release and now all I get is a beep and a red flashing light when I try to raise the top. When I try to lower the top (even though I know it is already in the boot) there is no flashing light or beeping sound. I checked the operational fuses and they seem fine. I checked the boot divider and it seems secure and in place. There are no visible leaks or smell of fluid in the boot or on the ground. I am at this point lost. Any ideas would be appreciated. 2005 Limited
