Stupid vert ???
 

How in the hell do I let my top back?

Pull up the ebrake, open the latches and turn the knob, above the wipers, counterclockwise. The key has to be in the on position, but the car doesnt have to be running.

and you have to hold the switch, there is a touch of a delay in each direction, and a stop point in the middle of travel.

I bought my vert with a "non-working" top, but turns out that the wires were unplugged and the left arm unbolted from the motor. What the hell.

Stick must be in Neutral and the E-brake must be pulled. Otherwise it won't work.
