Anyone know if there is one? My roof goes up and down but it seems to struggle. Nothing is catching, no codes or errors, and it does eventually do it. just painfully slow and at some points it seems to almost stop, but keeps going at snail-pace.

I've heard a low battery can do that so it's been on trickle all day...

Yep classic sign of a low battery! And you will really notice this if you do it while the engine is off. Would always recommend putting the roof up/down when the engine is running as it draws far too much power otherwise.

Depends how old the car is however trickle charges don't really do much to dying batteries. I'd recommend a V8 battery is changed every 5 years (and I know this as my last vantage battery died overnight!)
