I had a problem similar to this. An o-ring on one of my hydrolic lifters broke and it lost all the pressure in the line. The top wouldn't go up, and everytime I pressed the button I shot hydrolic fluid into the top's storage area! I'm sure if you had the sme problem you would have noticed the fluid by now, so I'd assume it's going to be your motor.
