if the convertible top motor is bad/going bad - you can have it rebuilt. There are several companies online. Do a search on yahoo.

I found this REALLY REALLY helpful when my convertible top wasn't working. Turns out, it was just some egg carton foam insulation interferring with the motor on one side. Moral: don't rule out the obvious, but here's a link to the manual with directions on how to put it up and down:

Also, if it really is busted, i have a spare set of motors, and a switch (with wiper issues) i could sell you. PM me if interested. Good luck,
