03 Glass top does not close properly

I have an intermittent problem.

Some times when I lower the top the glass rear does not go down properly and causes the top to be stuck open 5 inch before slowly closing itself with a pop.

I have been solving the problem by opening the top up a bit then shutting it again and it usually closes properly after that. I am thinking something has to be adjusted. Anybody else had this problem ?

Maybe needs lubrication. I would start with that as its cheap and easy to eliminate. Had a similar issue a few months ago. Lubricated everything with silicon spray (Simoniz Back to Black) and its been fine since.

Like Fatbloke said, you might need to lubricate the track. There could be some binding going on there. The arm that controls the top has a rubber bushing that could have gone bad and that too can be causing some binding issues. I suggest you look down in there soon and see what's happening. It could get ugly if you neglect it.
