for the first time since i got the car i tried to put the top down and it got stuck about 75% of the way (the top wouldn't go down all the way into that trunk area behind the seats)...i just put it back up, then tried again and it worked...still it scares me with all the noises it makes while putting the top up and down, it sure sounds like the motor is working hard! i'm sure the more i use it, the better it'll become and it just need to be broken in

as for the door, it's something i can live with, i just felt that the coupe doors open and close a lot more smoothly...however, i am afraid that if it were cold and icy out and the windows were frozen and aren't able to unseal properly, how do we open the doors??

I had to adjust a little to my top opening as well -- but I've credited that to my previous Roadster was an MX-5, that was a one handed 3~4 sec totally manyal operation. It does sound like a lot of mechnical effort but I'm pretty use to it now -- with the exception of Monday, I've driven it home from the office with the top down every day this week -- almost don't notice it now (opening or closing) -- maybe it just needs the be "exercised"...

Yeah, I think it's not unlocking. Maybe a totally different issue all together.
