My limited understanding of the torsion system it that there is a square rod that runs through the tube which is inserted into stationary receivers at both end attaching points and then there is also a receiver in the tube that is welded to the tube. When open there is no torsion on the rod but when closed the rod rotates with the tube creating torsion which assists you in raising the top back to the neutral position.
Is it possible that the torsion rod on the low end on each side has failed and the high end is good?
I should be able to raise the roof (rested position) support it, unbolt the attaching ends and then see if either end rotates freely or easier than the other side, correct?
