PULLED ON THE CORD NEAR THE HYDRAULIC PUMP
Hi Forum,
I recently had problems with my convertible top. While investigating what was ultimately low hydraulic fluid in my pump, I stupidly pulled on the small pull cord near the pump and now I cannot get the top to operate. I get the message "Top Unlocked". Can anybody suggest a way to correct the situation?
Thanks
Patrick

Is that what this pull cord is for? When the problem started the top was raising with difficulty and I could hear the whining noise of the pump that didn't have enough oil to operate. But now nothing works at all. I get the "top unlatched" message in the dashboard information window but the pump does not engage. Nothing happens.

Battery replaced went to put top down thing unlatched windows down and top started to move up from windshield 4 inches and stopped. Now nothing
tried to relieve pressure on pump. Still couldn't overpower the top.
While messing with pump i noticed the pump was really hot. Fluid level looks ok.
Your ideas please.

I'm having a problem I haven't seen anyone else complain about. When I try to lower the top, it "tries", but it sounds like whatever latching system is in the top of the windshield frame will not let go of the ragtop. It goes click, click, click, click, like some gear is stripped out or something. Is there a way to get it to manually unlock from the windshield frame?
