Heard a "clunk" when raising my HiLo

[Maggie-HILO]

I have a 2004 22' Hilo & when I was raising it yesterday I heard a clunk when it was almost fully raised. It did go down at normal rate but when I tried to lift it again, I got the clunking noise. Quickly lowered it. Any ideas? I was planning on selling it but this definitely puts a hold on that. Thanks

That's probably the safety bar dropping into place. It's the thing you have to pull the cable to lift it up when dropping the top. That's normal.

It was different than that clunk. It was louder like something was off.

I guess you'll have to try and locate where the sound is coming from and then give things a look over and over crawl underneath see if you can see any action. It's not something caught between the upper and lower sections?

Thank you for your help. I'll need to 'volunteer' a friend to help with the crawling underneath. Hopefully it's something I can fix without taking it in.

It could be a bad cable pulley????

Thank you. I'll add bad cable pulley to the list of things to check.

Did you get it fixed? Do you still want to sell it? ("as is" is ok for me)
