Default A 502 Safety Recall - motors convertible top

Anyone have this done yet ? or has the top opened at high speed(?).... Booked appointment today pending parts order.....

A few people have had the recall completed. I haven't even called yet.

I just had my 95 cab done by Pioneer Centres here in San Diego CA. It's a 2 - 3 hour job. I recommend calling your dealer and make sure the parts are in stock.

I received the recall notice on Friday. Had the car inspected today and should have the parts in by the end of the week.

Got my notice today. Will be calling Champion tomorrow. Top needed alignment (bit noisy) anyway, so I'm hoping that the motors will necessitate realignment/tightening/whatever so I don't have to pay for it. I'll tell them I'm trying to save for a SC
