Convertible Cover Stuck

I've had my '99 996 Cab for 2 weeks now, having traded up from a 79 SC Targa.

Got home tonight and closed the roof, the roof shut, but the convertible cover on the drivers side is stuck open by 3/4 inch. See attached picture.

The roof won't close any more or open. The roof tries to start opening, windows drop roof unlatches, then everything stops. I tried to manually open the cover, but no luck.

Has anyone had this problem before. Should I take it to a dealer or does anyone have recommendations for an independent shop in the SF Bay area (city or East Bay ideally) who could sort his out.

Many thanks

Keith

By "no luck": do you mean that you could not figure out how to do it .... or that the prescribed manual top operation method would not function properly?

Hmmm. You can't open it manually...there must be something mechanically jammed. In this case I would suggest a dealer. Never heard of this...not being able to open manually that is.
