Default Help! 91 300SL Conv top only goes part way up and stops.

I just purchased a 91 300 SL and the convertible top will go about 1/3 of the way up and clicks and and moves up and back about an inch. I was reading about jumping #1 and #10 diagnostic ports. I did this and the conv top button next to the shifter flashed 18 times. This is some diagnostic code, but I have no idea. The pass door elec window motor was replaced prior to me getting car and when I put the top up, the drivers window goes down and the pass window goes up. Any help would be wonderful, Thanks. Brad
Update: I fixed the window regulator so the window works correctly, but still has same problem. I do not see any leaks on any cylinders and I checked all the fuses.
