I have one of the many California tops that have lost functionality of that stupid gear in the motor which dirves the top back and fourth. Unfortunatly, I do not have the motor as the previous owner removed it, and am not willing to spend $400 on this. I am looking into getting it working in a much less expensive way. I am thinking of finding anohter small 12v motor, attaching torque converting gears, and see if I cant get it operational again. does anyone have drawings or pictures of how the origional motor connected to the cali top?

Thanks!
