Damn it, Mark! I SHOULD'VE taken a picture of that!
:dance:

Thanks for the offer, I'll be PM-ing you. Hopefully when I get under the top tonight all I'll find is a couple of broken red or white pieces of plastic and nothing else.

And I appreciate the willingness to help me out, Jaxonalden. Thanks for the clarification, and the next time I am in OKC (very likely sans Boxster) I'll hit you up just to say hi.

Looking forward to it OD. Mark T, I'd love to have that contact info for the plastic cups. I can't believe you can't buy just the plastic cups...noooooo, you have to buy the whole stinkin' arm, until now.

Thanks for the hook-up Mark T!

Whoa....my mechanism looks totally different that that. If yours looks like that, my advice is totally worthless.

So wait...how do I get the clamshell up without power to the top mechanism? Do I really just have to pry it up by hand and disconnect its hinge?

Might be time to go all Popeye on some spinach.
