996 Cab Clamshell cover won’t open

The clamshell cover will not lift on the passenger side to allow the top to be put up. The drivers side of the cover starts to lift but the passenger side does not move. I can not see anything stuck but there is not many places to get a good look.

 

has anyone else had this issue?

Found the culprit. A very small retaining clip had come off the rod that releases the lock arm holding the lid down. After trying to get the rod on the pin through a very small space I finally won

makes sense that if one side works take both apart and see what the difference is.

Good job Rob, thats a $500 fix at the shop.
