I had the opposite issue on one side of mine. The piece would not slide in when putting the top up, which caused the top to keep popping that trim panel. This meant I had to hold the sliding piece open while I put the top up. This was a pain in the ass so I took the panel off and detached it from the copper "spring" roll. So now my one side functions like yours. I'd rather that than have to hold the thing open every time I put my top up.

In your case, either the copper "springs" aren't attached anymore or the cable that pulls them isn't working. I'd bet it's the copper "spring". Take the panel off and have a look. You'll have to remove the seatbelt which is one easy bolt
