Top open light

[Pastor T]

SmokinCrow; How ya doing on this top issue? Mine was doing the same thing. I researched the whole thing and checked every part of the entire top mechanism. I read everything, checked all the forums, read all the books, saw the videos, the whole 9 yards. I disconnected the top levers and raised and lowered it manually for about 6 months while I was doing all the research. I finally narrowed it down to the convertible top transmission. The are about $700 new. So I removed it and dissembled it on my bench. There was a plastic gear in there that was broken. I could not find the gear anywhere so I continued to look for a used transmission on e-bay. Finally found one a couple of weeks ago for about $100. I bought it, replaced it yesterday and I'm as good a new. Be advised, the price goes up on those things in the summer. If you are going to replace it start looking now. If you have any questions let me know. I'm pretty much experienced on the whole deal now.
