Steve,

Believe me I've had my share of conv. top problems. They are very complicated. Take it to a professional. If you try riasing the top and both sides don't come up evenly, you can snap on side of the main bow. Not a pretty picture. It happened to me and that was after I had it in the shop to be fixed. The prob. was diagnosed as a bad relay control which is under the passenger floorboard. it was replaced w/ all the micro swtches and worked good for a few times until the top quit working half way up. I did what you did and a few weeks later taped on the new relay and the top began to open and then snap, $1400. What had not been diagnosed was that one of the motors was worn out and drawing more current, causing a cold solder joint in the relay control. I had the broken left bow replaced and the torn top repaired and operate the top manually now.

So, I spent $1400 to have it fixed the first time and $1400 to have it fixed again and now I operate it manually, using the pwer latches to latch the top to the window frame. It ended up being the best solution for me. However, I left the top down all sumer and had one heck of a time latching it yesterday. The top shrinks in cold weather. So, I wouldn't leave the top down for long periods of time either.
