I have a US spec 1999 C2 cabriolet. A few weeks back when trying to close the top the clamshell would not open. It was stuck on the left hand side. After several failed attempts I sought the help of this forum. The clamshell is held firmly in place by three latches. A clip holding the latch on the left side had fallen off and hence the latch was stuck. I was able to loosen the latch and open the clamshell using the emergency crank behind the rear seats. Miraculously I found the little clip and got the latch fastened as well. So far, so good, but the clamshell is not closing or opening. I have taken out the drive motor and it is turning fine. Oddly the shaft off the motor is totally smooth and it fits into what appears to be a gear with teeth that drives the clamshell opening mechanism. I cannot understand how the motor can get any grip. Is there a clutch mechanism of some sort? Does anyone have any experience with this problem??
