560SL soft top

Can't get the center pin to release completely from the body to fold up and bring down into the compartment. Followed directions, but no go. Possibly needs an adjustment???

there is a cable which can be adjusted once you get the pin to release. It's not uncommon for that cable to stretch w/ age. Keep @ it, sometimes it just takes a good swift shove of the handle to get it to release. Just be careful of the interior and your fingers!
