So this was a lifesaver, my top went out this summer and I was hemming and hawing for about a month before I got the nerves to take it all apart.
One thing I'd like to mention is that I struggled getting the motor free. I ended up just removing all the bolts for the top and then pulled up on the drivers side to get the motor out, cut the zip ties/housing then swung the motor inside the turn before dropping back down. I didn't need to fully remove the top and was able to undo the bolts, release the motor, then put all the bolts back in within 2 hours. just make sure you tape up the back of the hoop bars so you don't ding them during the process.
Also once the i disassembled the motor housing, I removed the motor and washed it under the faucet and got all the gunk out. I let it dry for 2 days and it actually started back up, no lose of power or anything, and saved me $600 from buying a new unit. Well worth the effort.
In all this guide saved me about $2k from having to take it to a shop/dealer.
Thank you again!
