[R129 SL] TOP PROBLEM

[Paul Samarin]

Had a similar problem, sort of.  After running through open and close  
manually a couple of times...I think it was part manual and part  
electrical, and probably a more complete automatic cycle with each  
run-through, it eventually just worked correctly...corrected itself,  
sorta.

It still has a small glitch upon closing.  It'll get all the way to  
dropping the top onto the top of the windshield then stop.  I then  
release the switch, squeeze the top down closer to the windscreen,  
and then reactivate the switch.  It grabs the top and pulls and  
latches it and then completes the cycle.  Very small irritant, but it  
didn't cost me anything to get it that far and I'm living with it.
