I just completed this repair on my Chrysler Sebring 2003 convertible, and believe I can answer some further questions that people might have after watching this video
1. The fluid I used and injected into the the
convertible motor was ATF(automatic transmission fluid). Initially I was looking for hydraulic fluid, but after reading about a dozen or so online forums and talking with a mechanic buddy, I was assured ATF would do the trick. I went to auto zone and bought the most basic, cheap ATF I could find, nothing fancy
2. I had to use an 18 millimeter socket to take off the bolts that hold the backseat down(1:25 in the video). If you need to buy the sockets, I’d recommend buying both an 18 and a 19 mm socket, as I’m not sure if that was just exclusive to my car.
3. For me, taking off these bolts was BY FAR the most difficult and time consuming part of the repair. They were incredibly tight, and there was very little room for the socket wrench to go back and forth. Be patient and stick with it, they will eventually come loose!
4. The plug on the motor is tricky to take off and put back on, and it’s probably longer that you’ll expect it to be. I would recommend just twisting while pulling it out, as a I fear plyers could potentially do some damage to it if you’re not careful
5. Lastly, when you first test it out after refilling it, it will still be a little slow before eventually going back to its normal speed. Also the motor is quite loud, but this is normal, as the sounds always covered by the layers and the seat.
Absolutely fantastic video tho, this probably saved me hundreds of dollars when compared to what auto shops usually charge you!
Thanks. Great tip on the ATF fluid. I was about to pay $28 on some “special” fluid.
This was so helpful and I cannot thank you enough, I was having a problem with my roof and watched the video and I was able to do the repair all by myself and Im a girl. Thats right a women did this repair, so thank you again
I am very proud of you and good job lol
Nice!!!!
Thanks for the post, I thought my Sebring was gonna need a whole new motor kit to the convertible top and the price I got for a new kit was $629.00...ugh! But after watching your video, I was like "it's just the fluid in the hydraulic motor?". That I can do myself and save a lot of money. I can hear the motor whirring when I try to put my top down, and the top retracts fine due to gravity assistance. It's when I try to put the top up is when it stall and fails to go up. So that indicates the motor must be working okay and just needs fluid, and your video just confirmed that. So thank you once again for the post.
BE WARNED - If you use a screw driver to push in the rubber stopper back into the pump, you may puncture the stopper through the hole and create a big leak.
Either my mechanic didn't see it from someone else who punctured it or used a Philips head to push it in and created a bigger problem.
Video has great instructions for getting access, very helpful, thank you. I was able to push the stopper in by gripping the pump being careful not to stress the T hose lines, then with force but careful wiggled the plug all the way back in.
I just would like to thank you Jamie, I was looking for an explanation of "how to unmount the back sit" cuz I didn't wanted to force or damage it, and you solution just workes perfectly for me !! THank you made me saved a lot of time !
Bertrand Barraud Thanks for the feedback man. Glad to hear that the video helped you. Please subscribe and if you ever have any questions or if need help on something just hit me up. I'm here to help!!
worked like a charm,
tips for those who want to give it a try
1.to remove the lower seat follow the above instructions but put the bar in the middle of the u shaped retainers on both sides of the seat and yank boom its out
2.so to remove the nuts that hold the back seat and seatbelts in the most optimistic occasion you will need a 18mm socket and a socket wrench,from here you just pull the seatbelt frame up and out,the same goes for the back seat,you just lift up from the bottom to unleash the seat from the top retainers and its out.In the most possible outcome the nuts will be air gun tight from the factory and if the nuts were never removed they will be impossible to remove,you better not push very hard or the nut or bolt to the frame can crack and then just forget it,so take the car to a tire shop or whatever repair shop to remove them with a similar air gun,then follow the above text to remove the seat
3. when you fill the pump,fill to the top while the fill plug is off,work the top 7 8 times just to make sure all of the air is off,then fill to the top again
4.MOST IMPORTANT DONT
take the fill plug off with plyers or something sharp,INSTEAD remove by hand its not hard but it will take a little longer,when its time to reinstall the plug,put the plug by hand in the hole and force it to stay there,then grab the plyers and carefully and with little to no force grasp and rotate the plug firmly,like a screw,I REPEAT DONT push the plug in with sharp toolsjust firmly and slowly rotate the plug till its tight an the end of the pump and not leaking,then work the top to make sure everything is ok.
nevertheless this video saved us all from huge mechanic expenses
All you need to do is put a pipe on the ratchet to give you leverage. They were very tight but the pipe did the trick.
I did everything u said to do step by step on my 98 Chrysler Sebring, and it worked! this is the first convertible I've ever owned and the top has never went down the whole time I've had it and I've even called around to many mechanic shops and even called Dodge themselves and noone could tell me anything about how to fix it, so as soon as I watched this video, I took it upon myself to do exactly wat u did in this video and I'm absolutely ecstatic! thank u so much for this!
shops and dealerships wont tell you how to do it because they want you to bring it to them so they get big money for a simple and cheap repair.
Great video - really helped me to do this job. Took a little over an hour to do - from start - taking tools out, to finish - the final clean up. Have to say, I'd gotten lucky, as the filler plug was pretty easy to get back in - I spent more time struggling to reseat the pump with the four rubber pins. This was for a 2000 Sebring with 55K miles on it, that is in great shape, but just wasn't maintained by older snow-bird owners. The fix definitely worked... after 20 years, some fluid must just 'evaporate'. I was extra cautious and topped it off about 7 times - 7 up and down cycles - and it took about 1/3rd quart total. It was taking about 10 seconds to drop the top, and was really struggling and groaning to come up... now - its down in less than 7 seconds, and up in less than 9 - and much much quieter. Thanks for the walk through - this was well worth it. I had a Top Shop tell me they'd do this for $100-150, so glad all I paid for was the Dexron. highly recommend the fix, via these instructions.
Thank You JamieJones!!! I picked up a 2002 Chrysler Sebring white convertible last year. It was in excellent condition no rust, or dings and just looks lovely with the top down! The start of our 2nd summer together brought us this awful predicament. We didnt know where to turn our mechanic said he had no idea- it sent us on a youtube search. Our search ended with your video. My husband and I watched your video roughly 3-4 times. The fix was so easy! The hardest part was getting the bolts loose. which were 18mm . We put a little less than a quart in. Got the air out of the lines. Its going up and down with no problems Let the summer Begin!!!!
1999 Sebring, top needed human assistance to get back up. I followed his instructions and had no issues. This is great for an inept mechanical person like me. Thanks.
Jim E Thanks for the feedback bro and I'm glad that the video helped you out with getting your top working again.
Thank you JamieJones TheCarMan. I did this repair with my 13 year old son. It was straightforward and we got it done in under an hour. We did need a 19mm deep-well socket, but other than that, this video is spot on and we were able to breath new life into our 2002 Sebring convertible top. Great stuff.
Just worked great for my 2004 Sebring!!! Thank you so very much for this!! It's going to rain in the morning and the top was stuck down!!!!!
A friend said, hey thats exactly whats wrong with your Sebring. We followed the steps exactly and even though I was extremely skeptical it worked. One thousand thanks. A mechanic wanted $2500 to get it working. I told him screw himself the car is not even worth $2500. its an 03... Thank you again
+MrCharliehere1 Hey Man, that is GREAT news and that is exactly why I created this channel. We all work too hard to just hand over thousands of dollars of our hard earned money for something that we can fix for just the cost of parts. Hope to see you on the channel often.
Yes, thank you!!! Since teaching myself how to diagnose and fix my truck, I pay attention to how little my dad cares to know maintain or fix his Sebring convertible and his top has been leaking like crazy and will go down but he says it’s damn near impossible to get it bk up. I can’t wait to try this and surprise him. I just hope I don’t get it stuck b it’s due to another issue. But thank you so much!
jaime,
The most thorough video I've seen thus far. NOW I know how to do it. Thanks man!!!
Once more, "GIRL POWER"! Thanks to you and your helpful video this
project took about half hour start to finish. Much appreciated! THANX
Am I glad I found your video, my wife recently inherited her father's 96 jxi it's in great shape even the top is perfect but didnt work but I could hear the motor run. Was going to call a shop till I found your video! Thank you, btw this car has sat for 5 yrs only has bout 88k miles
Your video inspired me to do the job. My Sebring's seat belt nuts were more like 18mm and very tough to get off. Had to use a 1/2" breaker bar and deep 6pt. 18mm high impact socket to remove. Thanks again. You saved me money/
Yes !! 18 MM Nuts and on very tight .. Took the longest just to get the nuts off .. Rest was easy !!
Thanks so much for posting this video! I was able to get the top working on my Sebring again, it didn't take too long and saved me a ton of money!
Krystle
Thank you so much for stopping by my channel, and I am just thrilled that the video helped you,
And if you ever need anything car related from buying to selling or repairing feel free just a hit me up I promise you I'll be able to save you a ton of money , Please subscribe Thankyou jamiejones THECARMAN
Thank you so much. I finished TWO Seabrings. A 2004 and a 2007. Two elderly ladies cars. I used a 11/16 s DEEP rachet fitting. The
19MM was a tad loose on nut. Used a 8 inch extender on rachet plus a long pipe over rachet handle to UN TORQUE the two nuts from collar. I am so grateful for your video. Turkey baster syringe worked like a charm. Rubber nipple in pump was a bit harder to get back in but I persevered. 😉. Both tops work like new.
Great information! I just completed it myself, and it works fine now. The only things I did differently is that instead of an 18 mm or 19 mm socket, I used an 11/16" DEEP socket and a breaker bar to get the nuts off. I couldn't do it without the deep socket and the breaker bar.
Brilliant! Just Brilliant! Super easy and in a short period of time. Can't Thank you Enough!!
Thanks allot. Took me 25 minutes to fix and vacuum. Works like a charm now. You were a great help!
Les Pfeifer Thanks for the comment and I'm really glad to hear that it helped you out. Great job buddy!!
Thanks, this was great help in getting at that pump. I found I had a bad seal on one of the lines into the tube. Just had to find the info on removing a side panel. All is right in the world again.
Mike
This works on my 1994 Lebaron. Was actually easier on the 94. Didn’t have to remove the seatbelt or take out the pump. Took Dextron II fluid.
This video was excellent to help us to fix the problem on my 2004 Chrysler Sebring convertible roof when it wouldn't go back up. Following the video fixed the problem .
Glad it helped
You are awesome!!! Thank you so much!!! Many blessings going your way!!
Everyone needs to watch the video!! It takes Transmission Fluid. I need to fix mine as well. The video never said why it leaks!! Its a easy fix. Once you put in the fluid run it and find the leak!!
Mission accomplished. On my Chrysler stratus 1998 😊 Thanks for the informative instructions.
Thanks Jamie! That was exactly what was wrong with my sister's 2001 Sebring. It was a little more involved on the 2001 to get access to the pump.
best video ever you showed every little thing from beginning to end .that's how a video should me done
Great video, thanks! Used it to fix my convertible top on my 2005 Sebring that was not closing more than halfway, and getting worse each time. On the 2005 I did not need to remove the 2 bolts to remove the seat back section. The prybar lifted it out just fine. Also I tipped the motor upright as much as I could (maybe 45 degrees) and inserted something to hold it that way to minimize spillage. Also used a bunch of paper to line the area under and below the pump to collect the spilled ATF fluid.
Love the Virginia Cavaliers T shirt. I needed a 11/16s box wrench. 17mm was too small and 19mm too big for my 2002 Sebring. Thanks for the video.
+David Ecker thanks for sharing if you need any help please let us know
Exactly what I needed to fix my sluggish top. Thanks for sharing! (Thumbs Up)
Gratitude!!!!! This is my 1st time doing it on my own. Very simple!!!!😉
thanks buddy, i reference this a couple times a year b4 i do spring maintenance, just as a refresher. really appreciate having it to look at
Worked like a charm. Great instructions. Was fearing expensive repair. Only problems I had were my bolts were 17 mm and getting that plug back in was a bit of a bear. I heated mine up in water in the microwave and that helped. Also used a very small flat screwdriver to help push it in and worked around the plug gradually.
+John Berg awesome
John Berg what year?
Just a word to the wise: DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE THE PLUG THAT WAY!! THERE'S A VERY GOOD CHANCE IT WILL BREAK!! AND NOBODY SELLS THAT PLUG SEPARATELY!! Everything else is great! What you want to do here is hold the plug on the outside and turn it, like you're tightening a screw, it as you're pushing it in!
Great video, exceptional job showing, and explaining step by step, thanks a lot.
Hey Jaime!
I was wondering what are some signs that this is the problem? I feel a little nervous about taking out the seats to check for leakage. However, my convertible top barely moves when I pull the switch and falls once gravity takes over. I would love to get some feedback! :)
Thanks so much for this video. You saved me so much money. Fixed my roof for under 4$.
+Ryan White awesome , I love cheap fixes
You helped me out SO much! Thank you very much! Not all heroes wear capes!
Hey Jamie thanks for the video. I have a question for you is there anything I can do to make the top easier to close manually?
James Holmes if you release the stopper out of the hydraulic motor it will release the pressure and you should be able to move the top up and down manually
hi my 2008 sebring is in the shop, the dealer says its 2500 to fix hydralic top, when I pust the button the windows go down but the top does nothing no sound, or movement at all, it worked fine last fall. the dealer says its the hydralic motor, and needs to be bleed. does it sound like the motot ot low hydralic oil. is the a eay to test the motor, if so where is it.
Thanks Lisa
Thanks for the suggestions you have discussed here.
Excellent instructional video. I have a 2001 Sebring and the top worked fine for a few months after purchase, then the top would go down but needed help coming back up. I watched this video and within an hour I had it working like new. I assumed the motor was bad. Even a used one on eBay was over $100. And after watching this, I fixed it myself with no labor costs and 4 bucks in fluid. Once again, thank you and great job.
I'm a subscriber now, and am hoping at some point for instructions on how to remove the hood support lifts on a 94 mitsubishi 3000gt.
+Spaceball City may I ask what kind of fluid did you use? Good job by the way ;)
+zoltanknagy actually I bought two of the 8oz little bottles of hydrolic jack oil (Wal-Mart 1.88) and didn't even need to use one entire bottle. Maybe 6 Oz. Not counting the ounce I spilt on the floor under the seat trying to get it in the tiny hole. But yeah. Have had zero problems since then. I might point out, since I am here. I had to repair both rear power windows and while I had the panels off I could see the actual cylinders the pump runs. Where the hose was connected on both you could see a small area where some fluid had been dripping over time. I went ahead and tightened those and cleared the leaks up.
excellent job and I'm so glad the repair work for you keep up the good work need anything else in the future please let me know
WOW DUDE!!!!!!! Thank you so much. You Just saved me a boat load of money. I subscribed to your channel. Can't wait to see what else I can find out. Thanks again man.
Sebastian
Originally all I needed from this video was "how to" remove the back seat in order to install a seat cover I purchased but, after looking at the entire video I remembered my convertible motor was sounding pretty loud so I think I'm going to go ahead and check the oil level since, getting the seat off was SO simple. JamieJones YOU ARE DA MAN!!!
Sebastian
Started project today. The 19 mm nuts are Factory Air gun force tight. I have 4 nuts ( 2007) model. Used an extender rod on rachet as seat fabric is too close for turning rachet. I appreciate your post but sometimes it's the small stuff that is hard. LOL on removing some tough nuts.
Excellent and informative! Thank you!
This is great!! I have a 2008 and my top just stopped working a couple of months ago, but due to the rainy season, it hasn't really been a priority, especially since the dealership wants nearly $300, just to LOOK at it!
After 4 years of ownership with this car and it's leaking roof, countless visits to the dealership has proven unsuccessful in their repairs. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. In just about an hour and a roll of automotive weather stripping, I have finally fixed this issue! No more water intrusion in my car and for less than $5.
Thank you so much for the video! Now, hopefully this is my issue and I can get the top going again, without the very expensive help of my dealership!
Crystal Nicole Hey Crystal, you rock!! I love it!! Good for you....not buying into what the dealer is trying to sell you just to get your money. Don't sweat the small potatoes girl!! I've got your back if you're trying to do some work on this car. It should also cost less than $5.00 to fix the hydraulic problem too. If it doesn't fix it or if you have any issues along the way, just let me know and we'll try to figure it out. So glad that the video helped you out..thats why I do these.
Thank you. Repair was a success!!!
Great video could not have fix it without ur help. Thanks!
That was very helpful...Thanks!!!!!!
Thanks for this very helpful video worked like a charm thanks again
MichaelSwan66 Awesome to hear my brother. Feel free to let me know if you ever need help with anything or if you have specific questions.
Thanks for your video. My convertible top will go down on its own but will only come up manually though once recently it did come up on its own. Does this sound like it just needs a refill? Any advice would be appreciated.
yes def need to top the old girl off, thats what they do when they are low need help let me know
Thank you man worked like a charm
nicolasjmaster awesome , you ever need anything im here
You are the man, thanks. Great video.
what kind of fluid do I use?
I have a 2004 sebring limited convertible and lately when I go close the top as its starting it bulks a bit (goes up a little stops a little more stops then goes all the way) does ris sound like a fluid problem or a motor or shock issue ? Any ideas would be appreciated
Thanks for your help 👌
if i just unhook the pump all together will it be easier to put the roof up and down manually?
Thank you so much. Wow now i can asta la vista the top!!!
I’m looking to buy this 2008 model but the roof won’t fully latch, the seller said he had to use one hand to hold while driving so it won’t flap while on the road. Is this fixable?
Hello there,
does this works for a chrysler lebaron 1994?
Thanx in advance
thanks so much bro, I got it done today
+Easily Entertained awesome
Hey mine just quit. I don't think it's the hydraulics, but maybe the switch? Do they have a separate fuse or can the (up/down) switch itself be changed if needed? Thanks in advance for any help.
Thank you this worked
I did this last year and it worked great for 4 months. Did it again today, it works great. How do I track down where it's leaking from? It's not from the motor, it's clean as a whistle.
Does this apply if the dash just says “failed” & it won’t go back at all?
thank you so much, this gave me a start
Hey Man, glad that it helped you out and if you have any questions, please let me know and I'll do whatever I can to help you out.
would this be same or similar on a 2013 200 Touring convertible?
Hey there...so I just bought a Chrysler Sebring 2002 yesterday and the top was a lil hesitant..but for $2900 what the heck right..well now this morning I woke up an can't get the top to come back up ..went up up yesterday and down ...again ..still little slow..but now won't go back up at all..u can hear the motor sound as if it's straining to go up ..and now ..nothing ..and being that I'm a chic I'm curious if u think I can follow this video that'll solve it?!..u make it look way easyy...but..I dunno...
+Alyson Cairns yes if you hear the motor going up and down then generally you have a low hydraulic fluid so if I were you I would just pop the backseat fill it anupd call it a day. if you need any help just let me know I think it's awesome you're fixing your own vehicle
me too LISA . THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Thank you. very helpful
+Smile 2 Feel Better yes this is a cool video especially if you have a convertible top not working LOL
What kind of oil we use to fill it up ?
So my roof goes down just fine but it needs help going up it won’t go up at all by itself the motor works fine because it does go back down and you can hear it trying to go up so I am wondering if I can do this and this will fix the problem?
Where do you get the fluid?
Very helpful
just curious if you happen to of made a video of how to replace the tubes running from the motor to the inside of the left panel back there.. seems I found the leak issue, but didn't want to start taking the panel off if I can't really fix it myself without the right tools or part, since I can't get a good look at whats inside there, just the 2 tubes coming out from inside the panel.. thanks much if you can :)
It’s just a Hydraulic piston so you can get the lines anywhere in the fittings anywhere it’s nothing no big deal
thank you this was so easy i never work on cars but your video saved me so much aggravation
+Vincent Padden awesome you need help in the future let me
+JamieJones TheCarMan i found where its leaking somewhere when lines go behind small back dooor panel in rear. could you do a video on removing that pannel
How do you know how to find out if it’s the relay or the motor...when all you know is that the top “doesn’t work”?
One day I went to raise my top and it seemed to struggle half way a few more times after when I let it down it wouldn't come up again. The motor sounded like it was weakening and then stopped all together. Does that just mean it's out of Hydraulic fluid or a burned up the motor? My car is a 2002
i drive an 04 sebring is the hydrolic fluid gonna be in the same spot for me
yes they're all the same
So if the pump is half way full will it cause it not to close back at all and no sound at all
How difficult is it to change the pistons?
GREAT , information !!!!!!!! I was selling my sebring and had a guy coming from 2 hours away and the top took a ^&^&***(, watched your video and was able to get it fixed before he showed , sooooo nice thanks again.bryan
Thanks! Top is stuck down on 2008 Sebring...definitely going to try this first.
Essentially Interesting Just wanted to check in with you to see if this was the problem with your top. Let me know if I can help you further.
Did this the other day and it went smoothly and the top works again going back up! The rubber plug was a lot easier to get out than put back in though. I had to use the screw driver and push and twist to get it back it. Pure direct force alone wasn't cutting it. You may have included that tip, I don't remember. Thank you very much though, knowing how is at least half the battle.
Joshua Sulwer Hi Joshua!! Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad to hear that your top is working well again. Now that you've done this job yourself, can you see how ridiculous it is to pay someone $800.00 to do that job for you? You know, I'm not sure if that tip is in my video or not so thank you for sharing that with the other viewers' because you are 100% correct......it is a bear on every one that I have ever had to do.
Oh ya I do all my own work ever since I was old enough to hold the light for my dad. Blessed to be blue collar and too often I see criminalistic mechanics. Even when I worked at fletchers, to me, charging a poor girl 700 for a alternator that costs 100, and took me 20 minutes at $7.50 an hour so I made like 2 bucks and company made $598 minus business expenses, is just wrong. I like watching your videos and plan to make a few of my own for problems I don't see covered anywhere else. Keep up the good work!
Joshua Sulwer Very cool stuff man!! You mentioned Fletchers. Are you in Richmond, VA??
Joshua Sulwer VERY true what you said about people being taken advantage of. This day and time most people just do not have the money to pay for those type of repairs and they sure can't handle someone trying to rip them off on top of trying to pay their bills. Thats why I started and continue to build this channel.
Joshua Sulwer I
nice job! I always used brute force to take off the seats, but crow bar is much nicer :)
Joshua Sulwer LOL, you've got that right, Joshua. Anything to make the job easier, right?
I'm ready to take a crowbar to my entire sebring. Real thought when you said the crowbar was needed lmao.
That’s great, thank you, I’m buying a Sebring so good little lesson
Don't buy one
I've had issues with every sebring I looked at and the best I found had MAJOR component malfunctions/failure and is constant repairs/maintenance. ESPECIALLY the top
this video was very helpful. I have a blown hydraulic seal and was wondering if you have any instruction on how to replace it. Thanks
Gerry Dailey Sorry for the delay getting back with you Gerry, but we were out of town for the first couple of weeks of the month and I have been playing catch up since we got back. You can buy these motors in the junkyard for $10-$20 and thats what I would do. It will save you alot of time.
Thank you.
Hi I enjoyed the video very much I know you have sold your shop however are you still around I need some help I have a 99 Volvo C70 Sol convertible top is moving slowly can you help
Going to try this tomorrow. Thanks for a great video. I'll let you know how it turned out for me.
Appreciate it Adria!! Looking forward to hearing back on how it went for you.
Hey CarMan, I have been trying for hours to get those 18mm nuts out and I have had no success. I've sprayed them with WD40 and nothing. :-( I was able to see a little puddle under the seat cushion witch tells me that there is a leak of sorts. I will keep you posted.
So I finally got the seat out and refilled it and went to close and reopen and noticed where the leak was coming from. There is a leak on the right side hoses. The connections are not rusted nor do they look worn or broken. Can you advise me on what I can do to fix this leak TheCarMan? Thanks in advance.
i have a 2002 chrysler sebring convertible limited edition, my top does not automatically go up & down and it makes no noise at all, like its not even tring but i can manually pull it up or down but id much rather fix the automatic could it be just hydraulic fluid???
I'm going to bet that if you are hearing absolutely no sounds when you activate the top, it's not the hydraulics. I would see if power is getting to the actual motor/pump.
We have a 1998 Sebring convertible the top goes up and down so slow. And kinda stops before it’s all the way down. Would this fix the problem or should I replace the motor?
+Kristin Shepherd yes could be , just fill it up and test it , if it needs a replacement very simple , I have a video on my Sebring playlist
My roof stopped moving on the way down will give this a try
Kevin Ingraham Awesome make sure the mechanism in the trunk is where it supposed to be because sometimes that’s the problem and you don’t need to go through all of this
Helpful video. Question? How much fluid does the hydraulic pump hold?
+Jane Murray Hi Jane, it takes less a quart. :-)
JamieJones TheCarMan What type of fluid are you people talking about?
What kind of oil does it take?
