It's a hot summer here in Carolina (at least it was until today) and a few days ago I opened the roof in 'vent' mode (rear raised to let heat escape). Later, when I got home, I tried to close it (to keep out pesky bugs/spiders) and it won't budge. There's a noticable cliunk when I try to open/close/vent but no motion from the glass or the inner cover. I couldn't find this issue when I searched. Anyone had this happen? Likely culprit? Given that my wipers no longer work (mechanical issue, stops at rest position for wiper change) I'm assuming this may be a mechanical problem too. I'm surprised that the gearing in a lot of places is plastic and fails (like the electric windows for instance). Even with these nuisances, I still love this car!
