    Yep. Expect at least $1500 to make it work properly.

    I converted to manual for $20 in parts, then sold my motors on eBay for $850 :)

            Toneau cover latch mechanism. Handle, cables, and latches. Took me about 45 minutes to install and align for proper lock engagement.

                    I'm curious about this. The previous owner took most of the power system out. I have to do everything manually now. I need a latching mechanism to hold down the stowage cover.

                        Did you buy new or find a parts car?

                            Conclusion:I'm going to put an auto top on my auto frame and disregard the motors. It looks like I've sourced latches and handles and stuff - so now I just need to get to work.
