Sounds like exactly what I just went through. I had the pop, my top stopped just behind the rollbar. I had to replace a broken cable, bent arm that attaches to the clamshell, some various bushings and clamps.

Renntech has a top section with some good info. Gary in NH is the resdient expert over there. I struggled with it for a few days but ended up taking it to a independent shop, not the dealer.

Out the door was $529. Not very pleasant but less than I feared. DO NOT operate the top motor anymore. It can get really expensive if more damage is done.

There is a DIY in the owners manual as well as at Renntech on how to disconnect the arms to safely manually lower the top.
