Headrests are down. They were operable at first even when the top didn't function, but eventually remained in the "down" position. I tried holding the switch in the "up" and "down" positions for nearly a minute each, but nothing happens.

Today I pulled the ground cable off the battery for about a half hour and reconnected to see if resetting the system would do anything. The rollbar switch still blinks when starting the car, and still no action. I did replace a blown 40-amp fuse in the rear fuse box that supposedly operates the soft top hydraulic system.

Bottom line is that everythig has remained the same. Looks like a trip to the dealer (as soon as I get the other ailing car back in my garage)...
