#81 of 92 Needed '01 drivers side conv. latch by niki2kids Sep 27, 2008 (2:22 pm)
I am a fulltime student and just purchased my first conv. used. I am looking for a used top latch for my '01 sebring LX. Anyone know where to go for good used parts? I went to my local dealership, but the part is almost 300.00 without labor and as I am a poor student I would rather notpay that much.*L* Thanks for any help. P.S. Other than the Latch, I am just loving the car.

Replying to: ridhill (Dec 25, 2006 11:52 am) Thank you for the suggestion. I have been having problems with my top rattling. I took your suggestions and went a step further. I applied the Velcro also on the area where the adjustment screw came in contact with the roof frame. This is located at the first hinged openings from the front side. Since I have a 2004 convertible Sebring I figured wear and tear wore out the padding there. I also applied the same type of Velcro on the rubber grommets over the post that guides the roof into the latches. It appeared that the rubber grommets had worn and the metal post may have been hitting the guide holes. I have also had problems with the latch pins wanting to work loose because the plastic bearings are worn down. I am fortunate to work at a place that I can have new bearings machined. I will probably wait until spring to do this. I took it for a test drive about an hour ago and no rattles, just squeaking between the weather stripping and the windshield. I can live with that. Also, I happened to have a strip of Velcro that has the soft side on one side and the ‘hooks’ on the other. It is used to wrap around an extension cord for example. I added that to the Velcro on the metal piece that the latch hooks into just for more tension.

#84 of 92 convertable top does not close by ldecamp Feb 26, 2009 (4:32 pm)
Greetings! This is my first time trying this. My 2000 sebring convertable opens just fine but when I try to close it it stalls out or does not even try to lift. Any ideas of what is wrong?

#85 of 92 I am getting a wind noise in the center of my front top seal..... by bigeee Feb 26, 2009 (5:46 pm)
I have looked at the top closure hooks and it looks like they are screwed down as low as possible. Any ideas?   I wonder if I took them off and grinded them down shorter if that would work? Any one tried that?

Replying to: fanmannd (Apr 24, 2006 8:00 pm) I have a similar problem & am looking for a solution also. Please let me know if you find out anything. I was thinking of unscrewing the top hooks and grinding down the screw to make it shorter. That would allow it to close tighter. Let me know if you try that.....   BigEEE

Replying to: ldecamp (Feb 26, 2009 4:32 pm) They said the problem with mine was a switch that was going out on several of the 08 models. They replaced the switch, and I haven't had any problems since. Replies to this message: lvmycag (Mar 17, 2009 11:07 am)

Replying to: kcarbo (Feb 27, 2009 5:59 am) Do you know which switch, where it was located and/or the name of the switch?   Thanks!

Replying to: ldecamp (Feb 26, 2009 4:32 pm) My 2000 is doing the same thing. Have you fixed it?
#90 of 92 Leakage of water seals when opening doors by trish22 Apr 23, 2009 (2:37 pm)
We have recently purchased a 2008 Sebring Convertible Touring, vynal top, built in April 2008. No problems with noise or with the retractible roof, everything seems to be smooth there however we have a problem that I have not seen mentioned previously. Just after owing the veh for 4 days, we took it thu a pressure car wash, and much to our surprise, we got wet. Water pourred in on both driver & passenger sides at the top of the windows close to the windshield. We immediately took it to dealer & showed them the problem. The next week the veh was in & they replaced the seal all along the top of the windshield. We had quite a bit of rain the next few days, no apparent leaks. They suggested we not take it thru car wash, however when we opened the doors, water poured dwn from roof on both sides, soaking the seats and floor as well as the electronics on the door. Took veh back today, dealership tried to see what they could do to fix it but it still leaks when door opens up. My dealership is going to contact engineering at head office to see what can be done. I don't like getting wet, but my main concern is that the water may short out the electronics or the wet floor may end up rusting under the carpet over time. Does anyone else have this problem and if so do they have any solutions?
