Sounds like the motor also holds up the top.
can you try to use something loke a broom stick thick piece of wood to hold up the canopy top till you get a chance to get a new motor.
You would prop up the top with a piece of wood right in the same area as the framing.
Tie a piece of string or bungee cord to hold the stick in place,to ensure the top dosent come down on you.
You might need to cut the stick to leanth as well as using more than one piece of wood.
Gool luck,Gary
My Coleman has the same problem. I can crank the top up but it will not hold in place.
I just leave the crank handle in place after raising the top and secure the handle to the bumper with a bungee cord. It's jury rigged but it works great.
If you have to fix it yourself out of warranty i suggest this ,
REGLUE ALL THE BITS THAT ARE COMING AWAY , THEN FIND A GLUE THAT IS SPREADABLE LIKE A THIN PAINT AND COAT THE ENTIRE ROOF MAKING SURE THAT IT GETS INTO ALL THE CRACKS , LET IT DRY . THEN PAINT THE ROOF WITH A THERMAL MEMBRANE COATING . This will insulate the camper from the sun and keep heat in during colder times , the thermal paints are not cheap but they do work . Hope this will help you
