Yes, I posted a suggestion above. Do a side to side comparison of the mechanism inside around where the sliders are located. You might find a flat spring installed incorrectly and fixing this may fix your problem. Sorry, wish I could be more precise but this happened a while ago and I don't remember the specifics,

Thanks, Mark_T, that's it exactly. The flat spring holds a fabric tab in place, and mine needs to be inserted further under the spring. I'll dig out my Torx bits later on and get fettling.

I had this problem with my 2002S since I bought it almost four years ago. Replaced the top and still have the problem. Fortunately I have long arms and can reach to guide it into place. Parked next to a 2005 the other day and it had the same issue. Maybe this is a common problem?
