    Yes thank you, I thought that would be the case. However, I'm not sure where to start. From the errors, are there likely things that might be happening? Faulty switches, etc?
  2. CabC2
    Thanks… any idea on how to proceed? I’m clueless on where to start

    1999 C2 Cab. Can't operate the windows (any). Can't operate the top. When trying to lock the car with FOB, OR manually, I hear a double clicking noise from somewhere behind the steering wheel (it doesn't seem from the driver's door), or maybe underneath on driver's side. Then, the 2 beeps. Tried to use the unlock button, restart the car, unlock/lock with FOB... the same clicking noise and nothing else. Here are the Durametric error codes. I have been reading about here as there are multiple versions of similar accounts, but I can't figure it out.

    Can go as far as rear 17mm, front 15mm. With conservative camber or 1 degree or so. No rub.

    Will do and post results here, tx.

    Wonder if it is 4. hard to tell.

    Green arrows show rubber trim. Which, I am guessing that is number 6. Then, the metallic piece clamps onto the lower part of the trim, seems like. It goes across the bottom of the glass and that's it. Red arrow on pic. pic shows detail of right side of hardtop/car.
  8. CabC2
    That's was my initial thouth Loren, but... the trim in question is part of the frame, rather, and it goes not curve on the corner it just goes to the end of each side of the glass. I just took a pic.
  9. CabC2
    The trim that is on the lower part of the hardtop glass (I think is metallic or hard plastic) is heavily dented because previous owner did rest hardtop vertically on the floor on it. trying to find that piece, but It does not even show on schematic drawings. Thanks.

    I wonder if hydraulic fluid low? http://www.renntech.org/forums/tutorials/article/56-cabrio-top-hydraulic-fluid-step-by-step/
  11. CabC2
    Or you can't skip the towels because "you know you are careful", and you'll end up with marks. Ask me how I know.

    Duane at visionmotorsports... philipj did recommend it to me and he rebuilt my engine, he's honest reliable and reasonable. lake forest area.
  13. CabC2
    It works.
  14. CabC2
    Btw, the dealer telling you does not mean anything. There is a difference between for example a cracked head gasket at around 2.5k, or a cracked cylinder requiring a full rebuild. I have sent you a PM for a good engine, but before you might want to take the car to a reputable indy, and have him look at it.
  15. CabC2
    PM sent.

    Hi, are those the sport tips, or regular?

  17. CabC2
    Is your car a C2, 99? Mine is... I did put OEM xenons as an upgrade, but they were plug and play just removing the old lights ... dunno if they self level but if they do, I can check it out if same car than yours. Let me know.
  18. CabC2
    Check for cracked header. It might let fluid get into cylinder(s) and cause hydro-lock. Then you stat the car and the coolant has to come out of the cylinder thus the bang. If bad luck, then a cylinder might break crack. A cracked header will set you back 2k. A cylinder 10k (complete rebuild).
  19. CabC2
    I think is more like Philipj got screwed pretty bad, nothing to do with opinions. How much more clear do you want it. Bty, philipj recommended a place to rebuild my engine and I couldn't be happier. I also looked into the conversion.
  20. CabC2
    I looked at this, but could not find an actuator that would fit on the 1.75" pipe. They are all 2" pipe or large for cutouts, etc. Perhaps cutting pipe where it goes, and soldering short pipe in larger diameter?
  21. CabC2
    Wonder if it would be possible to install a Fister, and a PSE actuator (there are cheap).

    If you need to replace/rebuild engine, you might start thinking about shipping it to autofarm which is in the UK as mentioned. I do not know the prices, but 30k for an engine seems excesive and way abov what you would spend elsewhere.

    You can redye leather www.leatherique.com yourself. Just don't screw up. Or better, get spares and use them so you can go back to your original if you feel/need to. For interiors inspiration, check www.gemballa.com. Some of the designs might be way over the top but you can see many color/material/design combinations, from 997's to 996's. You can get alcantara materials from www.gulffabrics.com For carbon, aluminum look, and other parts, check the sponsors in this site. Gauge faces, they are available through sponsors, in silver and white. Yellow and red too, but for '02 cars only (as far as I have found).

    Sorry about mistake. I guess I got names confused.
