I have a few issues with a 98 boxster. First of, the car won't start. Battery is ok, but the car won't crank. I'm assuming its the starter. I bought a starter off of ebay to install, but when I went to install it, I can't put the roof up to access the motor. I have had the hard top on for about a year and have not had a reason to operate the top.
When I tried to put the top up, it would not move, no noise, nothing. I'm thinking that maybe its the motor. My question is, is there a way to manually put the top up, to be able to access the engine?

I appreciate any help.
