Default 1957 Power top RPO473

Hello!

Does anyone know how to set this up? I'm stuck in the world of switches and solenoids...

So far I have got this working:
I push the Folding top switch in to fold up: (Convertible top is down , lower switch is activated).
The Folding top cover raises to the top and engages the two folding top cover limit switches. But nothing more happens. The lid continious trying to rise, and nothing activates the folding top "up solenoid".
I have tried understanding the schematics, but it makes no sense to me.

Here is a link to my setup:

Solved.
Switched position of the hydraulic lines on both solenoids. (up/down).

Marcus how long have you had your 57 and were you at the Power Big Meet Car Meet in Sweden this year 2016? I was there with friends from Austria. They tell me it is not going to be in the same place in 2017 will you be going to it? That was quite a car show. Everything and anything there as long as it was American. I think I saw more 59 to 61 Caddys there then any car event I have ever been at. Mike Terry
