Convertibles do have a spring mechanism.

I thought I did address the spring, non in yours! The directions are specific to your car. The first link is dead, it only shows where I got the info! You do NOT need to remove the regulator on yours. You do have to remove the regulator because it has a coiled spring on convertibles.

They are replaced as an assembly meaning motor and regulators. I think they are available online for around $60 each dorman makes them.

How do u know its the motor?

Hold the switch to go down. Then bang on the panel. If the motor turns on youll know its the motor.

Motors dont go bad much but overheat sensors do. You can dissasemble motor and bypass sensor and it should work again.

I have never tried rebuilding a motor there reasonable to buy a rebuilt one try www. Rock. Com or amazon for a better price on one then the auto parts store.I would just replace it if its not the brushes then you have a stator or magnet issue.

Look for a thermal cutout inside the motor. I think they're a glass bulb with a set of contacts, but Wrenchtech mentioned some other device that I can't remember. The contacts in those glass bulbs become pitted and add resistance to the electrical circuit. They cause more problems than they prevent. You can prove it by temporarily bypassing it with a jumper wire. They do that on a regular basis at one local used car dealership, but I would never recommend doing that on a permanent basis. Lawyers and insurance investigators love to find modifications that could lead to problems.
