[R129 SL] softop wont release

[Paul Samarin]

Do you know how to do it manually?  On my 90, it's in the index or 
appendix in the back of the owner's manual.  Follow the instructions to 
the letter, and see if it works after that.

Mine wasn't working at all--after years of non-use by the prior owner, 
apparently--so, I had to help it manually through all the ups and 
downs, and after a couple of complete run-throughs, it works fine now.
