Thanks, Maurice. I think I have discovered the root of the problem. I either have a bad gear in the right, passenger side, transmission, or the top motor will no longer accept the square cable. The top goes down perfectly, until about half way at which point there is a loud popping, which I assume to be the cable slipping or a gear in the transmission because the transmissions get out of synch. I'll keep looking.

By the way, those instructions you sent were fantastic. A lot easier to synch the transmissions that way, rather than removing the bolt. I might disconnect the push rod to the top, lower the top manually which just take seconds, and the close the clam shell. Ever heard of that before?

Thanks.

Steve
