I just pulled the manual release and put it up and down manually for now. Not a big deal since I only put it down when I know its going to be nice out.
Yikes!

If I do have to replace the motor, it would just be the Hydro unit ( 54347193448 $390) or would I have to get the whole Hydraulic unit (54347079586 $1,200) ?

Also, When you pull the lever in the trunk, so you have to pull it every time you want it to go up and down? or just once? and if once, how do you make it go back to the Hydro unit? dumb question, but I don't have access to the manual at the moment.

thanks
