[Chrysler300] Convertible top motors

[RWestra@xxxxxxx]

Ron,
 
The kit sounds like a very reasonable price.  I bought hoses for my H a 
couple of years ago and paid about $100 for both hoses and fittings.  As an 
alternative you might consider a used top motor and hoses.  I don't  know if 
you have an LKQ salvage yard in your area.  If you do you can go in and remove 
any part you want and pay a very reasonable price for it.  
 
The Chrysler convertable motor packages are interchangable for a large 
number of years.  I took the motor and hoses out of a 1995 LeBaron convertible.  
Both the motor/pump and the hoses were in very good shape. I paid $20 for 
both.  I installed the motor in my H ( I did not use the hoses since they had 
been replaced a year ago) and it works very well.  It may be slightly 
slower that the top movement on my L but it is very acceptable. I don't know if 
the pump capacity could be slightly less.   The mounting locations and the 
fittings are identical.  The electrical connection is different so I had to 
use the connector from the original motor.  
 
Just another alternative that would save some work and a lot of money.
