yes do some research to learn how the mechanism works it's actually quite simple once you spend some time understanding it. dont despair, i think you will have a cheap fix one way or the other. if the plastic ball joints popped off and they are not broken you might be able to just pop them back in, if they are broken get some used ones from woody, Porsche doesnt sell you the platic bit that breaks only the entire arm which is not too expensive anyway.

easiest way to check is with the top down and removing the "banana" shaped plastic covers that are on the sides of the clamshell, it will give you perfect access to what i'm talking about. if you need to pop something out to make the top work in "manual" mode read the manual it says what tool to use (you have it in the tool case)

if you get stuck PM me and i can maybe help out i've spent entirely too much time trying to fix mine and went through the entire system until i figured out it was a bad top relay.

good luck with it!
