Got the car back, they did install the part mentioned above, though that part is not a complete harness. They found one or more sections of the harness that had chaffed, worn through the insulation and were shorting out and throwing a fault. The repaired those breaks in the harness, re-taped everything out of they way and replaced a couple of other suspect parts. The tech opened and closed 6-7 times successfully. Now I'm at a tipping point, not sure how long the fix will last before it happens again, it cost me about $450 to fix this time, and I'm sure if it happens again they'll be less likely to want to fix it, and will want to install the 7k replacement top.
Seems crazy that they can't install an entirely new, and hopefully improved harness and have to install a 7k part, the rest of the mechanical, hydraulics, etc are fine, so I'd just be throwing them away, or they'd scavenge mine for parts to fix others.
So do I sell/trade or see how long it lasts......?
