95 Convertible Top Motor

Uh-oh. I have a 95 SE convertible (79K miles). Tried to put the top down this weekend (it was 72 degrees in TX) and it got stuck half-way.
The dealer (Rodger Beasley Saab/Porsche in Austin) said that the right motor for the top had “broken”. He quoted me US$1185 for the motor, with US$345 for 5 hours of labor. Yikes!
I asked about the frequency of this repair, and he said that they do about 1 or 2 of these motors a year.
I will call the two independent shops in town tomorrow (Swedish Auto Service and Doc’s).
Does anyone have any experience with rebuilt motors, or this problem? Are rebuilts a possibility, and if so can one recommend a good source?
Thanks in advance, I will post an update.
Elliot
