-+ Thanks, I ordered the part $9.99, however $11 shipping and $2 handeling. This top has driven me crazy, I took the entire controller and cleaned and lubricated every electro mechanical relay. Put it back togrther and nothing. Put the top up manually and used the switch just to klatch the windshield and it began working both up and down. Today, nothing. I am trading this thing for a corvette with a manual top!!

It may be cheaper to just drive over to buy it from the Dealer. It may cost more but save on shipping. On the other hand, the saving will only buy you 2 gal of gas.

Yes, and I pulled my 'fuse puller' out of the tool set and placed it in the engine compartment fuse box so that I don't have to pull my trunk a part in order to use it.

Quite honestly most dealers don't sell them individually. They will sell you the whole set of tools for $139.00.

To whom it may consern.
Well I was doing the rear brakes and tried to put back the wheels I had a hard time
centering them.
The front are easier.
I couldn't find that centering pin tool.
So I went in my garage cut a 1/2 x 4" threaded rod.
We use it in construction to suspend pipes etc, re thread both sides about 1/2" with a 12x1.50 mm, and I made a home made tool.
performanceproducts sells this tool made out of brass for $29
If you need to make one it can be done practically for nothing.
I made two of them just in case I lose one.

Regards.
aam.

Yes, and it is one of the tools that comes as a part(far right) of the MB tool kit above.
