Thanks, I do the same when I put down my top. I found another video with up and down speeds around 15 secs. I pulled my back seat out the other day and checked supply voltage at the motor and grounds. The supply voltage looked good and I saw about 200mv voltage drop on the ground side, which isn't terrible for a motor pulling that type of amperage. I also noticed the ground on the back of the motor was a little loose but not causing a problem. Either way, decreased voltage would equate to less amperage, so that would not cause my issue. I think next thing I am going to have to do is disconnect the rams and see what current flow is, then ensure the top goes up and down relatively easy by hand. I have been checking pivot points and all are able to rotate so far with no substantial effort. Next steps would be to check the motor and make sure the motor isn't dragging due to a dry bushing. The motor is definitely new looking so I'm not really expecting to find any issues there either. I am also going to see if I can find a part number. One other thought is that these replacement motors are cheap replacements and maybe the company that built them tried to cut cost and chose a motor armature with less copper windings then OE. Less windings would equate to higher motor amperage too.
