 Trick? To putting up the rototop? I can not figure out how to get the top up. I thought that it was strait forward, as it was putting it down. Is there a trick?

Re: Trick? To putting up the rototop? I'm not aware of one.
Is it not trying to rise at all (bad switch?) or trying, but not succeeding (actuator cycling or stalling, but no top movement as if in a bind)?
I have been advised that when putting it down, one should run it down a bit, then run it back up some, then back down. Something about keeping it from binding and not wanting to come back up after having been put in a bind. I guess this bit of lore is a bit late for you.
John?

Re: Trick? To putting up the rototop? Thanks for the posting.
It seems this car, and maybe all of them, requires that the emergency brake is on. Once I got the brake pulled up more than 2 inches, and now it works.

Re: Trick? To putting up the rototop? Aha! Yes, key in full "on" position, handbrake engaged.
Smart prerequisite, don't you think?!
Did you not get an owner's manual with the car?
