"sticky" Convertible Top?

My top seems to work fine except for the fact that is occasionally "sticks" a little bit when lowering it - but just at the very beginning. Like the first time I open it for the day sometimes I can hear the hooks come open and the motor pulling on the top, but nothing happens. Then I slightly tap up on the top right above the rear view mirror and the top pops up and then retracts like it should.

I can then open and close it like normal and it works just fine. It is almost like someone spilled jelly in between the top and the windsheld and it is just a little sticky. I cleaned the whole area there and put armor all on all the seals and they all look great, but I still get it sometimes.

Anyone else ever had this and found something that worked? I did some searches, but I may not be using the right wording to find the fix. Maybe I just do not understand where the problem lies.
