Knocking sound when trying to open convertible top
 

Hello everyone, i closed my roof and when I tried to open it up again, it started making a loud knocking sound and I can see some kind of push rod skipping. I have a video here

I can’t find a good solution. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you

*I didn't watch your video.

I saw the video. Looks like the rod that connects to lift the top is broken and jammed.
