The top on my car dosent fold quite right it gets stuck half way, I checked it out and inside there are some strap looking things that aren't attached to anything.
My question is dose anyone have any pics or diagrams of how the top is ehald in place on the top.

If you guys know please let me know I hate having to get out and gide the top down so it wont bend the rails.

I also had this problem. Ok heres something to check 2maro.

Put the top back(down) as far as it will go with out stopping.
Look at where it bends the control arms( IE: the bars that are in the middle of the top when it is up) kinda look like elbows.
Try to push these arms towords the back of the car.
If they flip down keep lowering the top(putting it down) and see if that works.
If that was the problem your control arms are bent and need to be replaced.
