Spyder rear shock apart!

[Linkizunlistd]

Ok guys someone give me a hand here. I have 97 spyder gst. My passenger rear shock came apart at the top. I think the actual top of the shock came through the housing. Now it is rattling around at the top. Has this happened to anyone? The biggest problem I am facing right now is getting to it. My convertible top is a bi*** to get off. Still trying to figure that one out. If you have some input please inform me.
Thanks,

Jim

you know you dont have to take the top off to get to the top of the shock right With the top up just move the bag where the top goes into out of the way and you can clearly get to it.

It happened to me once on my awd, a day after a auto-x meet. The mount had rusted and broke through. Its not a hard fix on a hard top and it was a good excuse to lower my car

I got to it through the side panel from the back seat but it just seemed like you couldn't get a top view though. Conveniently i already had the back seat and panels off so i could fix my convertible top motors. Just been too busy to get to it so its in the garage til the weekend. (after paintballing) Alright well thanks im sure i will post again with a question when i get to it.
Thanks
