With everything unlached, actuate all the moving parts by hand. I use a bundle of toilet paper to keep the clamshell open. With the top about half open, you should be able to slip you hand in between the top’s layers. Search for the cables and follow them front to back. One might be hung up on the top’s frame. I had this happen and it snapped the cable. I have replaced two cables in my top. It isn’t as difficult as it seems when you have the top half open.

Also, inspect everything inside the clamshell area. Something could be hung up or jammed.

Lastly, in the trunk, move the shelf up and down a few times to make sure to actuate the convertible switch.

If the top is having trouble moving on its own, you can use your hand to assist it. I agree, make sure you have a good condition, fully charged battery. If you don’t, get the biggest AGM batter that will fit in it.

Good luck!
