Cab top won't raise in the cold
Cab owners, I need your help.
I have a 2012 E550 Cabriolet. When the temp is below 65+/-, the top won't raise. The top goes down without an issue but when I try to close it, the tonneau cover raises up (slowly) but the top won't come up. If I park it inside, where it's warmer, for a while the top will go right back up.
Anyone else experience this or have any thoughts?

Yes, motors are definitely making noise and the top will get to a certain point (I think determined by the temp) and stop. When this happens l am able to lower the top back down all the way.
When it stops, I've been careful to not keep trying as I don't want to risk burning out the motors and I can keep the car inside in a secure garage. Both times this has happened, after some time in a warm garage, I've tried again and the top goes up without an issue so I don't believe it's a motor issue.
