i stopped the top half-open and found out that the cable was disconnected at the lid side. I reattached the cable and tried to finish close the top, but something went wrong, a heard the cracking sound and lid cracked into 2 parts and stuck under the pressure of the closing top. I had to remove the lid and only than could close the top. Not sure what I have did wrong. Maybe it was important to stop the top specifically when it was opening or closing....
I guess I will have to buy the whole trip set now.

It should be the same. Take a look here Factory Service Manuals - NICO Club Go to pages 65 - 67
I would think that a good starting point would be to partially open the top & stop it before the working door closes. Then you can compare the two & see if you can see the problem.
Good luck
