Spyder Problem with convertible top

[MindBlowin03]

Im having an issue with my convertible top. It worked fine and after putting it up earlier today it wont go back down. Im also hearing a constant clicking sound near the driver side rear speaker every 10 seconds or so. I did some searching but didnt find anything like this. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the pins on the motor gears finally snapped.

Check out post #2. I did this for my motors, but I haven't made time to install them again, so I'm not sure how great they'll work with the pin material I used. You should switch the system to manual until you get the motors fixed so you don't run the risk of burning out the motors by accident.

Actually I just figured it out. Turns out my driver side rear window switch was stuck and holding the window up, not allowing the top to drop. Looks like I need to fix a sticky window switch now, .

That should be much simpler to fix. Hope it works out for you.

1. I envy you for being able to put your top down in February...
2. Mine did the same thing last summer. Replaced a switch and no further problems. Temperamental little bugger.

Yeah, we just got a big snow storm last night. Even got released from school early and its canceled for tonight. Can't always drop it in February
