FIXED: HOW TO MANUALLY OPEN/CLOSE THE TOP: docplayer.net/22854396-Eclips...
READ: The diagram in the link looks illegible at first, but it makes sense after you realize the picture is showing the whole backseat space but uses chat bubbles to zoom in on the part/hole you're trying to find. So it's all there. But remember to remove the T-bar that relieves the pressure from the system, making the top much easier to open. It doesn't say to do that in the guide but it's needed. That T-bar is behind the speaker, sticking straight up out of the pump. And while you're back there make sure the pump has hydraulic/transmission fluid. The fill line is on the back side of the pump and I was able to read it with my phone's camera w/ flash. Any transmission/power steering fluid should work.
After removing the T-bar and finding/manually moving the arms that move the top (pics in the link), put the top to either the fully closed or fully open position, then put the T-bar back in, and the buttons to open/close the top should work again. No beeping! May take a couple presses tho :) GL y'all I hope this helps!
Also, I found out the reason it got stuck in the first place was due to a leak in one of the hydraulic arms. I put power steering stop-leak in the system and opened/closed the top a couple times to run the stop-leak through, but it didn't yield results... Now I'm wondering if I have to replace that arm or if it can resealed with a new gasket/washer, but winter's coming so I'm gonna hold off til next season. Will update :)
Original: I also tried to access a supposed switch behind a panel in the trunk to enable manual operation of the top, but I couldn't find the switch, it's most likely not in this year. I've tried resetting the battery for 30m, which also didn't work. The motor was working when I was "helping it closed" but now when you press either button it just beeps 3 times, most likely because the system is out of sync, since I closed the rear window portion before the cover panel was completely closed.
