updating and closing the file on this one.. finally!!!

turns out it was my smart top relay causing issues. i bought an used relay from Woody and the top started moving again. i connected all the pushrods and everything together, aligned both sides and top opens and closes perfectly.

Later i plugged in my smart top relay and when trying to open it, when the top is all the way down and looks fully opened the light is still on the dash and it became inoperable again so for some reason either the relay didnt let the motor operate that extra second or it detects the microswitch position(in the top transmission on the driver's side) incorrectly.

either way i am not using that relay again.
finally done with manual mode and with my "new" glass window no more boxster chop!! hurray!!

the only upside to this is i got very familiar with the top mechanism and how it works which could come in handy in the future or maybe helping others fixing theirs.
