Still time to post 48 more posts!

Thanks Mike for working this for the Cali Community. I know hasn't been cheap or easy to produce these but having our tops letting in the sun again is worth the wait.

Thanks soooo much!

I would remind folks to ensure the tracks and sliders are clean and dry lubed so everything operates smoothly. A binding top will create extra stresses on the new gears. I wonder how many tops have been maintained as some are 19 years old.

I'll test the new gears in my existing motor to simulate our well used motors. What's cool is this could revive a bunch of "broken" motors to get available working supplies back up.

Thanks again Mike!
