DIY Chrysler Sebring Convertible Top Motor/Relay Replacement

[@wafflcoptr]

I can hear a sort of click every time I try to bring the top back up but it won't go. Is that a low on fluid issue or is it something else?

[@markmanning1870]

VERY INFORMATIVE THX 4 YOUR UPLOAD

[@chrisg1325]

I have one in a 1958 Pontiac. The motor sounds like it is trying to function up and down but it will not move the top. It was working a few months ago but now it is not. The motor looks exactly like the one in your video. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@Tyleranderman]

So you need to have the emergency brake on to power your top back and forth?

[@TacosAfterDark1]

Yes

[@Tyleranderman]

Gerardo Legaspi Preciate you Mannn. Did you have this problem before where the top goes down fine but won’t go back up unless you pull it up???? Trying to solve that mess

[@TacosAfterDark1]

T Spight mine was doing the same. It wouldn’t come back up unless I’ll give it a pull. It got to a point where it wouldn’t move at all if I didn’t help it. I looked at videos and this fixed it like magic.

[@Tyleranderman]

Just bought a 03 Sebring . What is the right way to put the top down and back up?

[@vanityrae83]

I have an 09 Chrysler Sebring and when I push the button for the top to go down all the windows go down and it reads convertible in progress but the top does nothing?

[@mrtonyo3350]

On my convertible, when trying to put the top down, it starts up normally (unlatches from the windshield) then it just stops! Will not continue to its next step. It will not go down all the way. What would cause it to stop like that? Thank you in advance.

[@singledance1807]

I have a switch that works intermittently to bring the top back up. Sometimes if I push down and to the left it works but not anymore. How do I fix it

[@shlynea21]

Looking at buying a 2008 . It had a new motor but still doesnt work. Any ideas?

[@jamespublic6830]

Do you know how to check and troubleshoot a convertible top motor in a 99 Volvo C70

[@rotcivg59]

my 2008 Sebring touring convertible goes up and down but does not complete and the convertible motor keeps on going. It doesn't complete it keeps on running and just stops. when i turn the car back on it says " convertible top in operation" even when I turn the car off and because of that it doesn't let me turn on my rear defroster or use the button truck, I have to use my keys for that. is it an electric/ wiring problem?

[@rosepatrick2353]

Where can you find a motor for the top

[@TacosAfterDark1]

I have no experience in mechanics AT ALL. None whatsoever. I watched this video (and a few more) and I was able to do this in my Mustang. I got a quote over the phone and it was $299 to do this. Replacement is $999 with parts and labor. I saved a lot of money by doing this. TRY IT, IT IS NOT HARD!!! I did buy a tool kit from autozone for $49.99.

[@derrickyochapman4308]

What is the name of the part from AUTOZONE

[@Amir.d3v]

How do I know when to replace vs refill it?

[@theologicallife.....1103]

What year is this

[@LUISmorales-zk5bc]

Yo tengo un sebring 2005 Al presionar el botón bajan los cristales pero la capota no baja ni se escucha sonido alguno que funcione el motor hidraulico

[@oscarb.f7354]

LUIS morales has intentado ver el motor hidráulico puede que esté falto de aceite...

[@cesartapiz3103]

Perdón por la intromición soy tapicero hace poco me llegó un trabajo de adaptar una capota a un Sebring jx el sistema idraulico dañado algunas piezas rotas en las extencibles del herraje y se tuvo que dejar manual mientras el cliente consigue todo el sistema idraulico .

[@larryschonter8318]

I have a 2008 Sebring Convertible Limited. The top doesn’t go down all it does when I push the switch is click. Someone told me if the driver side rear window doesn’t go down top won’t either. Is this true and can you help me or get me going in the right direction. Thanks in advance

[@myciaisha8978]

Did you fix this bc my passenger window stop going down before I let the top back now the top will not come out the trunk

[@stevetucker8169]

What year Sebring is this?

[@joshdiditt]

Are you located in Georgia? Would pay you to fix mine. I tried everything

[@kevinstoyable]

I tried opening my top the other day and the windows don’t drop down and the roof won’t open. I just hear a click every time I hit the button and nothing happens. Any idea what’s wrong. 2008 Chrysler convertible. Thanks

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

Good chance it's the motor

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

It's a good chance it could be the motor

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Thanks for the video. How hard is it to refurbish the old motor, if a new motor is unavailable?

[@jamiejonesthecarman]

Hi Anonymous98, to be honest, I have never tried to do that but if you do decide to go that route, please let me know how it goes for you. If you are having a hard time finding one, try looking on car-parts.com. You can put in your zip code and it will show you all of the locations within a specific parameter from you that might have it available.

[@AndyDiMartino]

Was this the same motor that you did a video showing how to fill it because it was low on fluid?
