The trunk lid extension does not flip up there for the top will not go down. It worked fine until a car show last week ! what keeps that flap from going up. Everything else works ! Hope its just a switch or relay !

Check your switches for operation and adjustments of the extension and trunk. @biddle is right, spend the $ for an upgrade, but that may not be an end all to problems as I found out.

I would check for a sticky limit switch, I am planning on upgrading the relays once I start on my car.
 
Who is the best persons in Midwest to work on the Convertible top Mechanism. I want it to work perfect. I would like to also have the new style circuit board installed and remote top controller. I do know the fluid is low and I have a motor that quit working that extension flap up and down. The car isso nice that I want to get the top running perfect.

Where can I get a flip lid motor new or used or rebuilt. I unpluged it and wired it directly and motor is dead !
 
Look around your town for a shop that rebuilds starters and alternators. They will be able to take care of you.
