I just picked up a 91 E30 vert. I tried manually opening the top and it seems to keep getting hung up on the edge of the backseats. I can't seem to figure out why. I've watched several YT videos and still can't figure it out. Is there a step I'm missing?

Assume you have a power top you're trying to manually operate?
Or...
A full manual top

Ah, I'd say your 2x tension straps that run the longitudinal length of the top are stuffed.
Hard to explain, but sounds like you have a section of the roof (between the lateral support bows) that keeps bending forward (and getting caught on the rear seat).
You'll need to push/tuck that roof material back towards the rear of the car.
This video best explains it...

It always impresses passengers when they have to whack the fabric into place so you can drop the top. You will love the car."If the sky were to fall tomorrow, the tall would die first."
