    Top sticks and pops when lowering

    My 2003 Z4 top sticks when lowering - when it’s almost down - about a foot up. The motor keeps running, even though the top is not moving - then it pops and finishes OK. No problem going up. Seems to be more of an issue in warm weather.
    Ideas?

    TIA

    I'd be checking for bent rods, lubricate every pivot point, etc... Sounds like something is pinching?
    How long have you owned it? How long has it been doing this? Was it ever a smooth process?
