Default 82 Corvette stuck T-Top

I can not remove the left side T-Top. The lever will not pull the release rod all the way forward. Can I remove the flip lever and pull the release rod forward. Can any thing be damaged. I'm all ears on this one.

Thanks for looking,

Ron 92Camaro

I know how the latch - lever works. The release rod will not move - pull forward enough to allow the top to come off. I have No Problem with the right side.

Thanks for the reply,

Ron
