Yay, I can post again.. My account got in a funny state for some reason, but thanks to Noobz I'm back.
I've been having intermittent problems with my convertible top motor. It works, then it doesn't. Then you can whack it with a wrench (don't laugh..) and it'll work some more.
Anyway... enough's enough so I'm thinking it's time to replace or repair it. Since it seems to be a hydraulic pump powered by an electric motor, I'm pretty sure I saw some where that it was much easier/cheaper to refurbish the electric motor than to replace the whole pump/motor-assesmbly. Anyone have any advise, or experience with this? Also, I'm located I Northern Virginia and I have no idea where I'd take the motor to get it fixed up if that's the way to go?
