Another soft top issue
 

Being in winter here in Quebec, Canada we do not open our soft top from mid-october to mid-may so my car being in my garage for a while i decided to open the soft top just for making working the soft top parts. Surprise top didn't open, ok yeah its the trunk lid that is up and in fact it was, downing the lid and have another try with .... the same result. Now you're having a very decourageous man here, what can it be ? It was working well this last autumn, only think that i made this winter is spaying some deicer in my door key slot, do you think it can be that knowing that we can open the top with the key ?
Each answer would be appreciated
Thanks
