Any issues to look out for when looking at convertible Foxes? Problems with the top or motor?
I know that the rest is mechanically the same as any other Fox so the usual inspections will apply.
rear window motors...and the doors are heavy as hell...(droped it on my foot....damn grease)
ANYTHING that has to do with the rear windows. they come off track, they wont seal up right, the gears strip, the motors lock up.
Just make sure you run the top up and down a few times and the rear windows also work. The rest is all the same.
OH yeah, if you have little kids, make sure the window lock works. We have 2 kids and one is still in a car seat and the car seat hits the window switch. Took me for ever to realize she wasn't playing with the window.
You seem to have an issue with dropping things on your feet my friend. I hope you have steel toed boots.
it like 90* today..was sporting some flip flop's at the time
i sould get some though...not a bad idea... i cant even count the times ive broken mu toe's
Thanks guys, I'll check that out.
I have no little kids that I know about.
Plan on replacing the top pump, cylinders, and maybe the lines. If you don't have to, consider it a bonus.
+1; Also, if you can, leave the top down on it for awhile and then put it back up.
When I tested mine from the seller it worked fine, but I found it had problems closing after leaving it down after a few hours.
Combination of top motor going out and top material shrinking over the years (harder to close after sitting open for a while).
Good luck!
Also check the door hinges. I don't know if its just mine or that the heavier doors contribute but my welds on the top hinge are starting to separate.
