Hope you guys can help or else it is a trip to the dealer.

Got a 2016 2SS convertible that I bought back in Oct. We have a few spring like days this winter so out would come the car and down would come the top.

Every time I would cycle the top I would hear a popping noise (plastic popping sound), but I couldn't figure out what it was.

Today I finally diagnosed it. The plastic piece of the tonneau on the driver's side that was under the B-pillar area was not retracting when ever the top was being raised, and the popping sound was the frame arm slipping past the tab that it is supposed to push the piece forward. I got the piece out of the car, but reinstalling it is a bitch and no matter what I try the piece will not retract. The one on the passengers side goes down with only slight hand pressure.

Thanks.
