Soft Top stopped in mid-cycle (while trying to put up) now the top is out but wont latch down, and windows won't roll up (which I wouldnt figure they would since it's in the middle of a cycle)

I have had leaking hydraulic cylinders and cracked vinyl windows. Had to rebuild the cylinders and remove top and have new windows inserted. All DIY

I have replaced my soft top three times so far. Bad design on the gear. It wears at the same place everytime.
