okie.marv,
Two things:
The owner's manual says to not operate the roof if the temperature is below 40 degrees F, mainly because the hydraulic oil would be too thick at that temperature to operate the pump and top rams without doing damage.
The other one that the trunk MUST be latched down correctly for the top to operate.
If those two parameters are met, the top should operate correctly, provided that you don't have any other issue.
The age of your car would make me guess that you have a broken wire in the wiring harness where the convertible top frame hinge areas are. Years of flexing may have broken one or more of the thin wires, particularly if the wires were cold.
Get back to us if you can't solve the issue. Good Luck!
