I drove with the top down and when I tried to close my top, the clamshell wont open on the passenger side. What could be the problem? I dont have a manual so I dont know how to close this thing manually. Can anyone help me?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Got the clam shell to open with a bit of force. The actuator has a pin which drags the pivot arm, opening and closing the top. Well somehow the arm bent, hence no movement on that side. thankfully the pin popped out from the actuator, releasing the clamshell. Now I gotta remove the pivot arm and bend it back to its original angle. Thanks, geez ive only had it for 2weeks and she seems to hate me. Soon shell learn to love me.
