Like the title says. Last night I put the top up and noticed it was sluggish going up and the clamshell was slow to close. This morning I noticed the dash light illuminated for the top, so I tried to close it all the way. The clamshell was already flush with the trunk but I wanted the light to extinguish. The motor hummed for a but as I hit the button, then "BANG", now nothing...

I'm sure it's a cable issue but where do I start?

Also, with this condition how do I open the clamshell and the roof?
