This may be belaboring the obvious, but does the safety bar cable or lanyard move about an inch or so when you pull on it? If not, the bar may not be unlocking completely.
With the southeast's relatively high humidity, if the top section has been in the raised position for some time, it's possible that the release mechanism or the bar itself could have rusted a bit and isn't moving far enough to let the top come down.
