Hmmm...late night post.

I can't figure out whether you're having a problem with the glass window, raising the roof, lowering the roof or all of these things. Have you recently messed about with the roof?

OK - if you are trying to put the softtop down, when about half way PUSH the top of the glass window in towards the car or it sits and wont allow the top to come right down, it sounds like it's acting as a chock - mine do that occasionally so I just lift up a little, push the TOP of the window in and all good

If this don't fix it then I have no idea :(
