On the way into work this morning there was a loud bang and the windows dropped down like I was putting down the top. When I checked it out I see that the latch for the top has popped out of the slot it goes into while closed. Its out about 1/4 inch max. When I try and pull the latch handle it wont budge. I tried to push it forward to get the latch back in the slot with no luck. An ideas whats going on here? Did something internal break? To get the windows to stay up I have to press the sensor with my finger so they go up then turn the car off. The sensor is obviously still working.
