So ive owned my cabrio for a month now and aside from being autotragic (soon to be 5 speed :D) and having a little rust :shifty, the only other thing that needs work is the top. I dont know if it was the PO or the one before him but someone decided to fuck up the interior panels and top of the compartment by adding their own type of "manual" top. Nonetheless, its my job to fix it:/
This is my first cabrio and i don't really know much about all the things "convertible related" lolz Can someone help me out and tell me what is needed to fix the PO's fuckup? Is it already a manual top that was screwed up? Am i needing to do an automatic-manual conversion or is there something totally different that i need to do?
Heres some pictars to help out
RIght side of the compartment (i removed the black cover thing that was there):



Left side:


And of course the genius solution: He added some strap-type things to hold down the lid when the top is down
Left side:

Right side:

Aside from drilling through the panels and messing them up, the other major problem is that the right side of the lid won't stay all the way down!
Its raised slightly because the straps are too long and won't lower the lid down enough


Oh and whenever i try and press the top switch on the panel i can hear a "click" in the back but it wont close the lid completely.
Someone help out this noob and help me fix my vert <3
Edit: I know this is a longshot but Trina, if you're in here, id really appreciate your help, too :shifty
