The panel only rests on the right bracket, and moves out of place easily. I would really appreciate any advice on where to acquire one. They are no longer available to purchase new. Thank you.
Good people,
First, a special thanks to Pizza Guy for the detailed explanation and troubleshooting guides. Excellent!
The top on my 05 roadster had been mostly trouble free after I replaced the cylinders through Klaus's shop. In fact they still perform flawlessly. A few weeks ago, I had stuffed a bunch of stuff in the trunk for a trip. Since then, my top won't go down. It still went up without trouble. After reading through this and other threads a few times, I honed in on the divider switch, thinking that over stuffing the trunk may have altered its functionality. I cleaned it with contact cleaner, tapped it a few dozen times and put the trunk back together. It then allowed the top to go down a few times. Of course, the next day I wanted to ride top down and it wouldn't open again. I bypassed the switch, soldering the divider switch wires together. And it still won't go down. Will check the top open switch now, but am running out of ideas. Thoughts?
Am also wondering if I bypassed a perfectly good divider switch. Thanks for any thoughts! John
