We have been told the cylinders for the raising the top back up are shot. Can the top be manually lowered and raised??

Gentlemen,

I am having the same issues with my 2002 Chrysler Sebring's convertible top. It has been gradually getting slower and slower to raise and today it finally stopped, fortunately for me in the down position. Motor doesnt even engage now. What kind of costs are involved.

Thanks,

Bruce

I have a 1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertible JX. My convertible top quit working, I have checked all fuses on the side of the dash and under the hood, they are all good. I checked to see if there was power to switch, of course no power. Is there another fuse on a relay somewhere because I took the switch apart and it looks good. Please help summer is almost over what a waste, I just bought this car 3 weeks ago. Thanks kim

There's a way to reset the system and had seen the procedures before, but just don't know how to top it off my head.

i have had 3 chrysler sebring convertibles. i just love that car. unfortanately the top is a reaccuring problem with all of them . first of all there is a relay under the hood in the fuse box. also there is a giant fuse in there for the top too.

replace the relay its only $10 and if u do it as soon as it starts acting up that will usally fix the issue. when the relay is malfunctioning it dosent send enough power to the top motor.

if u continues to use it gfor a while after it started getting slow then u probalbly caused a bigger problem (like i did with my first one). now u will need to either top off the fluid in the top motor or replace them. i listed a link with instructions on topping off the fluid. i hope this helps you. please let me know if this was helpful or not

• fill convr. motor w/ fluid

I'm having trouble with the convertible top on my 2002 going down. When I press the switch, my windows go down, but not the top. Could this be a simple fuse problem, or something more serious? Also, I just had my engine replaced. Could faulty wiring be the problem?
