Hank,
Great note! I also bought a 1995 NG 900 (last fall). The car has been fun and I can reciprocate on many nuances (fixes) that I've successfully performed.
However, I have been having a Helluva time with the Convertible top. The manual (Haynes) does not cover converts and I'm "winging" it with little success. Here's my story.
The roof progressively needed assistance (by hand) when raising/lowering the plastic tonneau cover. Finally it died mid-way. Upon tearing the motor mechanism out of the trunk (by gass filler) the proble was that the white cast metal housing for the motor and emergergency hinge release had twisted. The gear was only engaging on the tip and stripping. Carefully the white cast metal cast was bent back into shape and I think I got the gear aligning well. Now the problem. Put it all back together and NOTHING. No warning. No sounds. Dead. Havent found any blown fuses. My thinking is that I may have aligned the tonneau arms wrong. Any chance you'd be willing to look at your arrangement, with the roof in UP position and tell me where the arms are on the motor housing? I'd be happy to reciprocate when you need a hand. markbytes@aol.com THANKS! - Mark
