#3 of 101 Re: Air Leak between top and windshield [mseningen] by safire609 Mar 07, 2006 (8:59 pm)
Replying to: mseningen (Jan 10, 2006 10:51 pm) Hello,   I have a 98 sebring JXi convertible and had the roof restitched at the same time I mentioned to the guy that air came through, he adjusted the hooks that are on the roof that hook into the car. You need an allen or star wrench to tighten these up and that will fix the problem! I hope this helps you!   FYI - I also had a problem with my car almost stalling/losing power for anywhere from 1 min to 5 mins. I had the car to a Chrysler dealership but they couldn't figure out what was wrong ... finally a mechanic friend of mine found the problem ... it was the catalytic converter!   Also the # 1 cylinder has gone bad twice ... it misfires and the car runs like crap!   I am currently having a problem with my oil light flickering? I replaced the oil pressure switch but it is still doing it. It happens when stopped at a light if I give a little gas the light goes out ... any suggestions?   Thank You ...

Replying to: safire609 (Mar 07, 2006 8:59 pm) I'm not a mechanic, but I suspect the flickering oil light means you need a new oil pump. I say this from experience with other vehicles. The symptoms you describe are exactly what happened with our Ford E150 van just before I had to have the oil pump replaced. Best of luck.
#5 of 101 air leak under convertible roof? by mseningen Jan 11, 2006 (7:30 pm)
I'm getting an air leak/whistle from the front center of the top when closed. Seems worse in the cold and when driving into wind.   Anyone recommend a weatherstrip material to adhere to the bottom of the convertible top?   Even if the weatherstripping on the windshield part is deteriating -- it looks to be one huge piece and surely must cost a fortune.   Padding/filling the gap from the convertible top perspective seems the right choice.   thanks,   m Replies to this message: bigeee (Dec 21, 2007 6:42 am)
#7 of 101 Convertible boots? by iwantws6 Feb 02, 2006 (7:07 am)
What exactly is the purpose of boots on convertibles? Is it just for appearance? Replies to this message: varob (Feb 06, 2006 5:54 am)

Replying to: iwantws6 (Feb 02, 2006 7:07 am) My understanding is that it's pretty much for appearance. Works, doesn't it. It will also keep soot and other dirt out of the well.
#9 of 101 winter in New England by ctfoyt Apr 21, 2006 (11:34 pm)
I have a 2002 Sebring Conv GTC. I am moving from Las Vegas to the New England states. How does the conv. top hold up to the winters there, (i.e snow on top). What other advise could someone provide to winterize my car for the weather there? Someone has told me I would need a heater for the engine, is that true?
#10 of 101 rear window problem by jenni56 Jun 10, 2006 (11:57 am)
Hello - I live in England and have just bought a 2nd hand '04 Sebring convertible which is quite unusual over here. We love the car but have noticed that the roof is beginning to separate from the rear window glass which is a bit worrying as it rains a lot here in Devon. Can anyone tell me is this is something I can fix myself with some kind of generic glue or something or is it more complicated than that. Otherwise we love the car, having just sold our '93 Lebaron to get this. Replies to this message: paplauskas (Jul 07, 2006 10:23 am)

Replying to: jenni56 (Jun 10, 2006 11:57 am) I have a '96 Sebring convertible with the same problem. I dealt with it in the following way:   1. From the inside, I placed "duct" tape (a heavy duty tape, very adhesive, used to seal heating ducts in the U.S.) over the entire inside edge of the top, overlapping the window by about 1/2 inch. So that from the outside there is a narrow cavity formed between the window and roof.   2. Using marine silicone adhesive, I spread a generous line of the adhesive in the cavity described above, even with the top edge of the window.   3. After the adhesive has cured (I waited a week), I poured water over the seal to test for any leaks. Then applied more of the adhesive to the area where the leak was located.   This approach was performed last summer, and it lasted throughout the winter and spring. I should mention that the vehicle is kept garaged all year round.   Good luck!
#12 of 101 Re: convertible top adjustment 2001 sebring by fanmannd Apr 18, 2006 (5:57 pm)
I have a 2001 convertible. I'm trying to find a solution for wind noise when top is closed. The drivers side latch does not pull tight even after adjusting the pin (hook). The manual does not show ways to adjust the top and I really want to learn how to adjust it w/o taking it to the dealership. Surely someone can help me?   Thanks, Jim
