I’ve been looking for years for a 4-bow top to bolt onto my ‘01, with no luck. If you could direct me to a source of these replacements you refer to, I’d be grateful.

They look awesome on the car, but the closeups show a fair amount of abuse. Personally I’d have to factor in complete repairs including repainting or powder coating.

Here's how I found one of mine during the last maintenance day. I wrapped it tightly in vinyl electrical tape. Let's see how long that lasts.

Seems strange that both microswitches would do this at the same time. I think there might be something else going on.



I don't think the microswitches controlling the window have anything to do...

The shifter shouldn’t really lift, so you should have a look. The gaiter over the shifter just pulls up and you’ll be able to see the shifter mechanism.

Got it open.

Buying replacement seats is such a risky proposal to me given the age of some of the components and the subjective feel each of us has as to what works and what doesn’t. And with the...

Seat upgrade?
