I just got a 2005 crossfire from a widow it has super low miles and is in awesome shape ( like new) kept in garage.
My issue is the top . Bought it knowing it had leaking actuators and pump was run dry. Got that covered .Ordering parts from Top Hydraulics’s after I get past my current issues.
First the widows late husband removed the two cables that control the little closeouts on both sides of the tonnue cover due To they broke . Looking for replacements and how they route. I know they attach to top linkage some how.

Second issue is I put top down manually once and all was fine .I put it backup few days later and now weather is nice wife wants it down . It all unlocks and I can raise lid but when I pull front of top back it moves slightly but stops and feels like it’s HYDROLOCKED somewhere.
help please

Moved to Roadster Forum

 

Those are called Tonneau Flap Cables. They are not available to my knowledge, but some have been able to have replacements made at a bicycle shop.
There are several threads here that discuss them, most are not labeled correctly, either. Here is one:

If you are going to work on the car, download the service manual here:

I have moved your post to the Roadster forum, if you look in this part of the forum you will find most threads on the convertible top.

 

I just added this, it might be helpful, if not now, some day:

I have had good luck with cables for other applications with California Push Pull .
