Where do I find a convertible motor?? I have read threads (Horror stories) about them being in the 500 dollar range...I can't afford that! Please let me know where I could purchase one for a little cheaper than that if you know.
In case you're wondering, my motor will turn, but won't move the top up or down. I can hear it running...it's like it's stripped or something...
Thanks!

after you input youre car, go to electrical, body electrical, convertable top. they are listed there for 225. you may be able to find them cheaper, but youll have to look. another alternative would be a junk yard, but that depends on how dirty you want youre shoes to get

 

Thanks! Looks like they want 358 for the 94-98 models. I will keep searching, maybe junk yard is the way to go??
