roll Bar

Roll bar down, will not go up.. Soft top goes up and down fine,, No warning lights. I can hear motor? running and roll bar moves a bit but will not go up.It is like the mechanism is not engaging completely. Tried all the solutions, like holding button for 20 seconds and such, still no resolution. Did not check fluid level since the top works fine. Need some help

Make sure

That you have the radio code handy before you disconnect the battery.
