It's likely to be related to belts or pulleys, but can also absolutely be the alternator bearings, especially if that's still the original. I just went through this on my car and documented it all, look for my "personal alternator/fan pulley debacle" thread.

I wrote the explanation of the damaging of the transmission.
Enjoy your new car. To me one of the greatest pleasures with mine is doing all the work myself, to each its own. This is a superb forum with great people. If it was not for this forum I would have not been able to do all the work I have done in my car.

Thought I would have a look at this the coming weekend. I have opened the roof once manually to make sure it functioned, but I would like to get it back to electric mode.
Unfortunatly I loosened both bolts holding the cab, but it seems to be the one on the left hand side that is stuck. If I unplug it from the motor, kan I take the cable transmission out of the car and try to open it to se, or would that mess things up?
I feel I can write and read english at a good level, but I get confused sometimes and need to be sure.
And say the cables are fixed again. How do i align with both the bolts loose?

Rotors are typically long wearing items. The original rotors on my car lasted 90K miles before being at the threshold minimum thickness. It is easy to tell if the rotors only have a few thousand miles on them as the pads do not extend quite to the edge of the rotor and worn rotors have a pronounced outer edge ridge that forms as the pads wear into the rotor.

If it stopped and both side of the top were even then it is most likely the motor control board.
If when you were lowering the top one side kept going and the other side stopped kind of twisting the frame then it is the cable. This is a more dangerous situation if you do not stop as it can bend the frame.
First you need to do some trouble shooting to determine what failed. Let us know how it failed

Hi again!
I finally have time to adresse this problem.
Problem in short. I opened the roof. It stopped midway open and would not budge either way.
I loosened both bolts and opened and closed the roof manually.
When disconnected I can hear the cable on the right side move, but not the one on the drivers side. It seams stuck.
Time for cable replacement? And where can I order new cables from?
