Convertible top operation
 
Does anybody have any videos of their convertible top opening and closing up close ? I am still having problems with my convertible top shutting properly it almost closes then seems to get stuck. I had badges on my the head rest grills. When putting the top down the edge would hit the badges on the way down and we thought that was causing it / the motor seemed to be making weird noises. If we pushed the top while closing it would shut properly. I removed the badges and changed out the top motor still having the problem I will take a video of my top as well.

I don't have a video of mine at the moment, but here's a random link to a video of a top operating properly.

It's hard to tell on your video, but it looks like the material is getting bunched up on the drivers side...? The motor does sound like its struggling, and the lid gets hung up a bit as it's flipping up. Could just be how the mic on the camera is picking up the sound though.
Quick question: have you had the tracks cleaned and lubed?
