Default Cali top issues
So I tried opening my cali top doing about 60mph which hasn't been a problem before now. When it started opening it abruptly stopped, and it now does this horrible clicking/grinding noise when i try to open it. Is it just off track or do I have other issues? Also how do i get access to the top so I can try to figure it out? I really need to know ASAP cause I have a buyer but I doubt he goes for it if the sunroof is broken. Thanks guys

sounds like the typical stripped gear to me. That has happened to many people, not sure if there is any fix besides replacing the motor. Look up pnosker and see if he ever made up replacement gears.

Apparently it wasn't used to being so smooth!! Haha

Oh and thanks maybe I'll hunt around for a new motor.
