    WTB manual convertible top manual storage flap latches, cables etc.

    I need a complete kit to convert the convertible storage flap from electric to manual. That means one lever, tan (I can paint this if other color) interior panel w/ cutout for the lever, cable(s), latches to hold down the flap, and whatever other crap is attached to all that, parts 1 thru 16 on the diagram. I don't need the flap itself nor the itty bitty shock absorbers for same.



    Shipped to 89012.

                      You may need a different "boot" (lid)that covers the top when it is down. The electric version doesn't have clips to hold it down like the manual ones: it is like a big U shaped open end that is pulled down by the electric motor. The manual ones also have a way to support the bottom of the shock absorbers, but the electric ones don't. (didn't need it) Most of the time, those shocks are blown anyway, and you just hold up the boot (lid) anyway...

                      Having said that, I did this conversion, and the "boot" NEVER comes up no matter how fast you drive. Just know that on a big bump, it may lift a little bit. Make sure the top is securely tucked in place so that the "boot" rests flat on the car, and you will be fine.
