Oh goodness...
Do not go to the dealer for this, even if you don't want to repair it yourself. First, buy some time by looking in your owners manual (or this forum) for how to disconnected the top mechanism and use your top manually.

The top system consists of microswitches, one electric motor, two cables and two transmissions. The rest mechanical arms (driven by the transmissions).

Go on ebay...used top transmissions are in the low hundreds.
new drive cables are ~$25 each
a used motor is under $100.

You can get this going again for a fraction of the quote from the dealer.
