Sue - Lots of threads on this topic, can you elaborate on your symptoms? What exactly is happening?



If the latches unlatch from the top of the windshield, but the top itself does not start to open, that means that either:

the microswitches that indicate that the top is unlatched are not working, so the brain doesnt know to start opening the top

if the top starts to move, then its likely that the brain is fine, but the side mechanisms that open the top are frozen (this is what happened to me)

or the brain itself is not working, so the coordination of the microswitches and motors is not taking place (this is generally less common)

If the top is moving back crookedly, then the side mechanisms (called transmissions) are out of synch and its likely that one of them is frozen
