Q: Convertible top doesn't work
The convertible top and rear passenger's side window are not working.
Hello. If these both stopped working at the same time then you may have a bad connection. I have had the top on this vehicle end up causing some broken wiring due to contact with the harness. I typically have to tear part of the vehicle down and do some voltage tests to find the problem.
