The tonneau motor problem exist on all 900 C 95-98>>>> Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: '97 Convertible Top Problem, Brian, Tue, 20 Jul 2004 06:00:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
until they have had the motor unit replaced or got the reinforcement kit installed.
Some shops don't want to install the kit but replace the whole motor instead.
In some few cases that might be needed if the motor and gear box is completly worn out, but I have installed the repair kit on nomerous motors without a problem so I'm fairly confident that most motor assemblies can be saved this way.
Price tag for the parts are quite different.
Motor unit $1360.00
Reinforcement kit about $10.00
The 9-3 model uses a different setup of the convertible top system and it seems that the tonneau motor is stronger, but they have another weak spot in the hydraulic pump system instead that could mean thousands of dollars in difference depending on the policy of the shop.
Some shops want to replace the whole hydraulic motor assembly $3223.00 when infact it might only need a plastic drive clutch for the pump $72.00
It's always a good idea to check between different shops for pricing.
