The convertible top of my '96 Spyder stopped going up and down. Anyone ever repair fix it themselves?

The most common problem is the side braces above each door opening buckle. Check them first. I've also seen the sheer pins on the motor gears break. Motors do fail occasionally. On one car I found a problem with the left rear wiring for the relays at the left rear tail light embly inside the trunk. A customer replaced a bulb and got the wiring for the convertible top motors stuck under the housing and shorted the system. If I remember right it also took out the convertible top control unit behind the rear seat back. All the other Triple Diamond Master Techs I know take care of our customers and are happy people like the cars.
