Hello Tony, Welcome to the forum. I see you have multiple posts going in multiple catagories. PLEASE start with this so we can know a bit about you and your car and so we don't have to ask basic questions to be able to assist you.

This is my first time actually viviting the site as well Tony. I'm not an owner yet but looking. Can't seem to find one that has an operational roof.

RichinFlorida, that can be a good thing. Use that to have the seller knock off at least $2000.
( Tell 'em that is what it will cost to get it fixed. )
There are not too many reasons the tops fail to work, here are the most common :
1. switch in cargo divider ( drivers side where you hook the divider bar in at the top )
2. trunk latched switch ( in the latch assembly )
3. front header switch ( inside the header by the windshield, actuated by the 'D' handle. if the windows go down, this one is OK )
4. the "front raised" switch ( in the top assembly right by the passenger's right ear )
5. fuses
6. low hydraulic fluid ( here, be careful. If it's low, then check all 7 cylinders and all hoses for leaks - $$$$$$ if they need rebuilding )
7. bad hydraulic unit ( $$$$$$$ )
8. the top switch itself ( seldom the cause )

Another choice is to not fix it, buy the car cheap and use pizzaguy's video instructions on manual top operation.
