Hi everyone,
My Cab. electric top is up but it will not latch. Even worse, it will not go down either. Can anyone offer me some help please?
Thanks,
Real

Whatever you do, Do not force the top down with the dash switch! You will break the frame bow, it sucks worse than the issue you have now.
You should be able to pop out the plastic caps on both sides of the rear seat to access the main hinge bolt and loosen two or three turns (I think it's an 18mm socket). when loosen, you should be able to manually pull the top to the windshield to touch the contact points. When there, push the dash switch forward to lock the top. Next, seek a mechanic to track down the issue.

The tool should also be in your tool kit
Do not remove the bolts just loosen enough to close .
I just spent a 3 day battle with my top
What a chore. And it's in mint condition.
Next week I,m converting to manual with
Just the switch to. Seal the roof .
When you get it loose and on the windshield frame
Both switches on the top must make contact for
The motors to latch. If you don't hear anything
Look for a red wire with a glass type fuse holder near the
Panel . That's the top power

How in the world can you convert a power top to a manual? keep your transmission bolts loose and bring the top to the windshield to power closed?
