An you can see the top is completely open. I just need help getting it into service mode. I have tried using the tool to pry off the black push rods, but they don't move a millimeter. Thanks Jimmy

Sorry to bring up a dead thread, but I've been reading threads, DIY's and watching Youtube videos for two days and I still can't get my top working. I feel a bit dense, because I can't even get the top in service mode position even though I feel like I'm following the manual's instructions properly. Here's the situation: 1999 Boxster. I've owned it for 3 weeks. Top was working fine. Parked in the garage for 5 days with the top open and now it won't go back up (close). It is an aftermarket top with the glass window. Previous owner had it replaced. Parking brake light is on. convertible light stays on Windows drop 2" (if I push the latch release switch and then let go) I've checked the fuses, they look good I pulled out the relay and tapped it a few times and reinserted and removed it a few more times If I push the convertible switch on the dash I hear a click type noise in the back and the dash lights dim for a second. The only thing I notice is one small pin missing on the passenger side (https://www.design911.co.uk/mobile/#part;id=127975) Other than that the red rods look fine, no cracks or anything. I'm trying to use the tool to pry the black push rods, but they don't budge. I'm using quite a bit of force too. I'm afraid I'll damage/bend the guide arm or clamshell if I try much more force. I know this topic has been discussed a lot everywhere. I've searched and I've read a lot. Hoping one of you kind and knowledgeable folks can help. Thanks Jimmy
