Well, I found the culprit. It turned out to be the plastic ball cup joints.
I little more background was that for a long time the passenger side of the top moved very solidly while the driverside seemed a little limp.
When I got into the car I found that the driverside ball cup joint was completely broken in half. The passenger side was just off. The pop I heard must have been that coming off.
The rubber bushings on the arm at the other end from the ball cup socket are shot.
I need to find a place to get this stuff on the cheap.
Any suggestions?
