I hear you. The latch is powered and its not engaging that's why the tonneau cover is not closing all the way.
Watch some of the following videos and try to resync.
Tried resync. The only thing that happens in the windows pulse down inch by inch. No movement or noise from anything in the top.
None of those videos had the same problem. Mine literally has nothing in the vert top assembly move...just the windows

Can you give us some more detail on the parts you checked?
Which fuses, the amperage etc?
Also have you tried just sending 12v to the vert motor itself?
Checked all the fuses associated with the top, all looked fine.
I have not tried doing anything with the motor directly. How would I go about doing that.
I have kinda put the top on back burner. The car also has a trans problem, so I am working on that in my limited time at the moment
When the top is up, the storage cover sat fully closed and latched. After manually putting the top down, the storage lid sits a good inch up from where it should be. Not sure if that has anything to do with anything. I really have no clue when it comes to verts. The car will be a nice weather car only, so I am not really worried about it operating properly to be honest. I would, however, like to get it fully stowed away at least.

That car has an identity crisis. Is a a 3'er or a corrado.....and vert or a coupe.
I want his hard top though.

Checked the fuses. All good.
Motors still do nothing when switch is pushed. When I do the resync procedure, the only thing that happens is the windows will pulse down inch by inch if I continue to hold the switch.

HipMF,
Shouldn't you be more concerned with this than the Benz?

So I picked of a 97 328ic project car. Top doesnt work. Anyone know these things that could help me diagnose?
When I got the car, top was up. Light inside @ switch just would blink constantly. I got it manually down, disengaged motors, and tried re sync procedure. Still no movement from the top.

Welcome! Do a flush and fill on the trans. Those e36 auto's with the 4L30E were very susceptible to shitty shifting once the "lifetime" fluid takes a shit. I'm not sure about the zf auto.
Not sure what trans it has. Either way, gonna try the obvious first. The trans essentially has no R or 1st. If I put it in 2nd it works fine.
Worst case scenario, I have a lead on a replacement for $100. I am just not sure if I want to go through the trouble of replacing and auto instead of just doing a manual swap since I am going to be digging in anyways.

New guy here...but not really. Been around the block a few times. I apparently forgot my login stuff, or my account got deleted....anyways. Sold all my toys and projects 5-6 years ago to buy a house and start a family.
Well, I'm back.
Picked up a 97 328ic for a song last week. Currently, the trans is wonky...might be an easy fix, or not. It may just get swapped with another autotradgic for the time being just so I can enjoy the car. Or, it may go manual swap. Or, it may go full LS swap. Not really sure at this point.
Anyways, here she is....stock and boring. That wont last long
the one and only e30 s52 engine swap

The texture probably won't hold paint well. It's molded plastic....something like back to black will bring it back to life
