Should ask dealer for old one. Maybe we can figure out a DIY fix for future benefit.

You don't have to drive a new one off the lot for it to depreciate significantly at this point. I believe new cars depreciate before your signature even dries...
Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

My neighbor, the rocket scientist who runs a bank branch.....
Why don't people just lease like me and then you don't pay depreciation?
Brilliant.....

He also never has to work on it. Just tires & oil changes with the occasional wash & wax I bet.
But he also doesn't get that satisfaction for having battled against the car gods and occasionally won... Then again, he may also never seek it =)

My top is stuck down. The latches won't unlatch. The right side part you insert the flat head in has separated partially from the mechanism. Does that side operate the latches? I can turn the Allen wrench and it wants to rise and fall but can't bc the latches aren't unlatched. Advice appreciated.
