Soft top stopped working
 
I had my hard top on for about a year after not having it on the past 10. Yesterday, I rolled down the windows and took off the hard top.
When trying to close the soft top today, a small click click click can be heard and the dashboard icon flashes. Additionally, the back windows won't roll up now.
I had fluid added about two years ago and it had been fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try the 'key in thew driver door' method . Hold the key to the right and hopefully that might 'do the trick'. Let me know if that works please.

Thanks for the reply. Same thing though. Click click click noise, and the dashboard icon showing the soft top flashes.

try it again tomorrow. Mine acts up just the same then the next day it 'rights itself'. Mine has been working daily for about 2 weeks now. I am still waiting for it to 'jib' again. It's coming. It's not knowing when that pisses me off.

There is usually a gradual loss of hydraulic fluid over time.
I had mine topped off last year and it worked fine after that.
Cost $200.

I had a similar problem with my buddies Turbo Cabriolet we wound up swapping out the battery and I found some reset process I believe you open all the way and then continue to hold the button down for 15-20 seconds and then try to cycle it closed and do the same thing with the button when it's in the fully closed position. I am just guessing as this was a few years ago but it was something close to that. Once we did this the top worked fine.
