Default Re: Need to identify convertible top motor - Mopar

I hate replying to my own threads but in this case it is just to add information even though no one ever replied.

I finally broke down and called my Chrysler dealer today (March 26, 2010) and had them look up the part for me.

Part # mopar 1-05166559AA
"Convertible top latch with micro switch.
Price from the dealer???? = $569 !!!!!!!!!!!

When I first got my Roadster a dealer had come up with this part extra and as at that time it listed for $700, (Yup $700 just for this part) and he cut me a pretty good deal on it. I being the cautious type and a bit of a hoarder just had to have it so I picked it up knowing that if anything was going to go bad on the convertible top this would be it. I paid quite a bit less than the $700 and I looked at it as some insurance for when the car was out of warranty. Last year I required a major surgery and unfortunately I had to sell my beloved Roadster so now I have no use for this unit. Wife lost her job last June and hasn't been able to find another so for the time being I've got to sell anything I can.

I'll be posting it on e-Bay today. In the near future I'll also be posting the Crossfire floor mats, locking lug nut set, two custom WindRestrictors, a tire pump and a few other odds and ends. If anyone is interested in any of them just give me a yell at sheldon@sheldonaubut.com or watch e-Bay for their posting.
