Re: If I'm stocking up on spares from a wreck--which ones?
By struts I presume you mean the hydraulic lift cylinders for the convertible top mechanism. There are seven of them and in total they are worth $400.00 to Hydraulic Top Repair (who bought all seven lift cylinders that I had from a complete used convertible top that I bought from a salvage yard . . . just so I could get the rear bow molding which is no longer available from Chrysler). Now if you needed to replace yours and needed to buy new or rebuilt lift cylinders, I have no idea what it would cost but certainly considerably more than $400.00 for all seven.
PS - When you say you can get the top for a reasonable amount, are you talking about just the canvas top and rear window? If so don't bother because if it's the original OEM top the rear window adhesive is destined to fail and the top will be worthless.
