Recently, I went to lower my top. I started the car, unhitched the top and pushed up slightly making sure it was free and clear, and pushed in the button to lower. Windows went down, as they should. Heard motor working, but top did not engage for about 5 seconds. Finally I heard the motor sound change and engage and the top went up and to the back. Going back up is not a problem. Sometimes it engages quickly as it always had, and sometimes I hear the motor whining (higher pitch) with no engagement for several seconds. What's happening here?
