My convertable top is not operating correctly. What I need is a flow chart of the sequence of events that happens. Also, what are the common issues?

Please correspond in the forum, I can only receive in the mail box and I got your message. How much car repair experience does your husband have? The reason I ask is that the convertible tops can be a hair puller for a master tech, and it does require special tools to set up and if you dont have them it might be better to let someone who does have the tools and experience with these tops. I am not saying I wont help, but there is a criteria here. Send me a phone number to contact you(in my mailbox, so you don't have to publish it) and I will try to talk you through it.
