Pulling into work today, I put the top up. It started to climb up slowly as it usually does, and then a few inches away from the closing position, I hear the little electric motors give out. Pressing the button again gives a little "grrr" but then eventually silence.

I then tried to move the top manually, heard a very loud "CLICK", and then was able to use the electric motors to SLOWLY close the top completely.

It now will not open. Pressing the button only causes the little electric motors to spin over and and die from exhaustion.

My sensors are all fine.

Will a new GAHH top replace the motors too?
