What happened? Inquiring minds want to know...

It's good that you have the Haynes manual- this area is one of the few where it really comes in handy. If you are going to the dealer for the top hat, that other flat trapeziodial one is also very likely to be bad. They made them out of some cheesy kind of plastic that gets brittle. I didn't find messing with the mechanism very hard once you understand the principle. When it is working properly it will make a big difference.
