Any helpful direction is much appreciated.
I don't want to make my first post too long. However, if you need more info, please let me know.
Thank you.

Maurice has a lot more experience and posts than me, but I can say I just had a similar problem, and it turned out to be a broken cable on the driver side. Luckily nothing else was broken (the arm with the red cup/end was slightly bent, but I straightened it out), so a quick trip to the local dealer for a cable, and the whole thing was fixed for <$40. It was much easier than I expected, and works great again. Just be sure the transmissions are aligned (you can use a drill on the motor end of the cables) before hooking everything up to the transmissions and operating the top again.
Good luck!
