Most random **** ever:

Car goes into shop, top goes down, battery gets disconnected...

Battery gets RECONNECTED an unknown duration, later, top refuses to go ANY where. Not moving, budging or even beeping.

Initially it tried to bump down, but that was minimal, anyway.

Switch has been checked for continuity etc...

How the hell can I get it up, manually!?!?!?

 

There is 1 10mm bolt with a Phillips screw slot cut in it on each motor. If you lift the spare tire/wind deflector panel and look just above the "c" cutout and ledge the deflector sits on you'll see a small access hole. I believe you tighten that screw/bolt to disenage the linkage from the motor. I'd recommend a socket as to not strip it out. You should hear a pop as the linkage disconnects.

 

The Man: You are it.


Can't get the rear suspension finished until this occurs, but now that I have THIS info, I shall make it so.
