THE ELECTRIC TOP NEVER WORKED SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE MOTOR ON THE TOP. IT STILL CATCHES WHEN I GO TO TAKE IT DOWN. IT ALSO CATCHES SOMETIMES WHEN I PUT IT UP. I TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS ALWAYS TOLD THE SAME THING. I HAVE CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT MAZDA TO NO AVAIL. HERE IT IS 2016 AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS. VERY FRUSTRATING. THEY WORE ME OUT BEFORE I WORE THEM OUT. IT HAS NEVER WORKED FROM THE BEGINNING, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT CATCHES.
