Randall, I'll have to agree with the veredict above, check also the orientation of the rods (all four of them) If one of them is placed incorretly they start rubbing with each other....also that snap may be your cables getting loose from the housing in the top motor...check that asap, If you continue using it like this the transmissions will un-synchonize and you will have a possessed convertible top, th proverbial one sided flex...
