Bump.

List updated. Bump.
Is the Boot Well...the actual Boot that you put on when the top is down?

No, it's the interior liner for the area between the rear seat and trunk. I believe you're looking for a top cover.

I've got everything you need, and more... laugh.gif

Yeah, you have PM.
Do you happen to have rear window switches?
No sorry I don't. You can take yours apart and clean them.

Do you still have passenger side rail? biggrin.gif I am looking for one kindasad.gif
Passenger side rail I have the middle section and rear pivot bracket (the one the motor mounts to). Front and rear sections of rail are sold.

Driver side I still have all sections.
Hi - I'm also looking for part of the passenger side rail. Below I've included picture of the part that's broken. The rail has literally broken into two pieces; it's worse than it looks in the picture.

Do you still have this part? If so I'd like to buy it.

(I think may have happened when the driver side convertible motor failed. Have other folks had this problem -- one motor fails, and the frame on the opposite side snaps from the extra/uneven weight?)

Thanks ...

Sorry, no, that section is sold. Same one neko9999 needs.

Yes, it's common for rails to break when one motor stops working. When that happens you need to stop using the motors and put it up and down by hand. When only one motor works, it puts a severe off-center load on the top frame and can break rails.





Thanks dgbldr.

I know this is getting OT, but how can you tell when one motor stops working? My top seemed to be going up and down just fine and then ... snap. I can't tell by the sound unless I stand outside the car while someone else operates the up/down button.

Sounds like maybe there'd be a good market for a simple LED hookup to warn when one motor gives out, or better still, a relay to stop both motors when either one doesn't work.

It's not really obvious when one motor stops pulling. Some people have a better feel than others. Sound, feel, subtle hints.

If you can design and build a "simple LED hookup" to detect a motor not lifting, I'm ready to buy biggrin.gif
what are you going to do with the car...

does this vert have a center stoplight that works?

Yes it does. 2 of them. One in the trim, one in the wing. Each works when it's connected. No, neither is for sale. I parted out a top, not a car.
so what do you have for a top? nothing !?!?

I have another top on the car.
Hi - my alloy section has snapped too, and I figure due to stress wirh one motor not doing its work - snapped cable? unlikely - snapped drive pin? Probable - slipping clutch? possible.
I can get the alloy section TIG welded locally, but I'd like advice or a link to instructions/manual re access and repair of the motor drive system please.

PM sent.

This is a "for sale" thread, anyone with technical questions please PM me instead of hijacking the thread.

Do you still have the driver side rail complete set? would you be interested in selling just the cast piece that attaches to the back seat area?
