Don't put the top down under 45 deg Fahrenheit, I think the manual says that doesn't it? The soft top material is harder and causes stress on the motor when trying to open/close in cold temperatures. BTW when you try to put the top down when it is cool, 45 F to 60 F and it stops 4/5 the way, just send the close command for a second, then start the open command again. It should complete... The motor is programmed to stop if it encounters too much resistance, and sometimes in the cool the stiff soft top material creates enough resistance to cause the motor to stop.
Get a dry silicone based lubricant, and apply it with your fingers into the locations where parts move.
