can't lower soft top-95 SL500

I cannot lower the soft top in order to put on the hardtop. I think it is out of sync somehow as the passenger window will not lower. When pressing the top button I can hear the motor trying to do its thing but it will not release from the top rail. I can use the tool to unlatch the top rail cylinders but that is about it. I do hacve a slight leak in the drivers side top rail cylinder but don't thinks this is causing the problem..plenty of fluid in the reservoir.

Didn't have a problem until I took in for trade in appraisal and about 2 weeks later atried to lower top and discovered the problem.

Any ideas and has anyone else had to have top mechanisim worked on ?

thanks
