    Retractable top will not open

    Retractable top will not open

    Recently burned up the thermal sensor in the motor/pump. All stated discontinued part. No one could find it. Read the forum and went to tophydraulicsinc.com and there it was. Have dealership diagnose, takes less than an hour.
