You are saying the convertible hood, but I assume you mean the convertible top? Meaning the roof of the vehicle, correct?
So, if this is the case then the most common cause of this is the frame is bent.
There are many things that can cause the frame to bend but the fact is if it is not moving evenly and getting stuck on one side then that is because it is not square any longer.
Basically, these are two separate scissor mechanisms that are joined together by the cross braces. So, when they are not moving together then something is bent.
What I would suggest is to operate the top and inspect the side of the frame that is getting stuck and compare it to the other side in each position looking for something that is not the same.
Each side is going to look identical, so you are looking for something in the scissor portion that doesn't look aligned properly.
I am attaching the picture below that will help with pointing out what I am talking about.
Let me know what you find. Thanks
