I was hoping that just plugging it in would indicate if that was the solution. Oh well....time to drain my coolant.

I've had my 1997 convertible for nearly a year, and the top has been perfect so far. It looks faded enough to be original, and it was a one-owner car. We use the top a LOT, and I've thought about repl...

You have to pull the console section surrounding the shifter off. No tools required, but the switches on the cover have to be disconnected.
