I've got an 05. Recently the convetible top, where it overlaps and adheres to the outside edge of the rear window, is separating; right now about 60% is separated. I want it fixed and I'm concerned about water issues but it's been bone dry here in Atlanta lately, thankfully.

Is this a repair I can do or does it require a dealer? If it's something I can do, does anyone know what I should order to do the repair properly?

Thanks All!
Mike

 

Most places will say go for a full top replacement.

If you want to try salvaging the existing one, this might help:

I would not take it to a dealer, I would not even THINK about taking it to a dealer.

You need a pro top installer. Even if you have to pay when ordered and drive a distance to have it installed. There is a definite art to a convertible top.
Maybe they can fix yours, maybe not. But a pro installer is worth the cost.

 

Agree with this 110%. Top replacement is one of those areas where experience and skill count for a lot. If you do go that route, take it to a pro.

 

I forgot, there should be a screw & bushing kit available for your particular model. These bushings should be a good, easy & inexpensive DIY project. It would be a good idea to have these parts replaced before you have the top serviced or replaced. Then the top will look and perform as new.

 

i need mine fixed as well, it is starting to seperate
