I have not seen the GREEN shower yet. My car is at 100k, the prev owner/dealer said the hoses were replaced before I got it by him.
He gave me a recpt of the hose purchased. It was bought from Crown Jag in St Pete FL. Part# hjb8256ab called a 140b hose. list 393 sold for 314. Now having looked at the recpt date of the hose and when I bought the car it prob was put in my car. Is there way I can check and see if they were replaced????
To the main question, what do you do it the top is mid travel going up or down when the hose lets go at the latch???? Do you just get the shower and the top just stays where it is at? Does it fall back down? If it stays mid way how do you get it down it you are on the road.

 

Appears the part is a Jag part. is the hose the same orig OEM or is it an updated better hose??

BARGJAG, your manual shows how to lower or up your top no matter where it gets stuck.
A pressure relief valve on the motor just unscrews and the top will move in either direction. The allen key will let you lock the latch at the front, you may have extent the ram arms to get the windows up.
