1997 Eclipse Spyder PARTS?

Threaded View
I have a '97 gray Eclipse Spyder GS.  I need to replace the button panel on
the driver door (the cheap bakelite-like plastic has broken so it will not
stay screwed into place).  

I also need to replace my visors, both of them.  The cloth has dried out
from being in the sun too long and is tearing.

Also any tips on repairing the top?  It appears to have slipped off the
gears.  Motor runs, but the top doesn't move (jerks a little but no
motion).  I must raise and lower it manually.  I don't even know where to
begin to get to the motors and check the gears.

I won't even begin to go on about the leaking top.  It's horrible.  That's
another topic though.  Scotchguard is helping with light rains.  I'll just
have to replce it one day...

Anyway my first priority is to fix these petty issues.  Used to be a cool
car, sure would like to get it back again.

Is the Chilton manual worth picking up?

Thanks!
Mox

Hey thanks Rick!  I went ahead and submitted a request for the button
panel, visors and the glass cover for one of the fog lights.  We'll see how
it goes.  Thanks for checking on the top issue too.  Just an added note:
when you manually open and close the top you can hear and feel the gears
slipping.  Not having any knowledge of the gear assembly, it feels like
plastic gears that have simply come loose, seperated or something.

I appreciate your helpful reply.

Thanks Phil.  I checked out the manual site, looks pretty complete.  Do you
have one?  If so does it cover in detail working with the top, disassembly
repair and reassembly?

I appreciate the info!
