That's a problem, like most postwar (wwII) convertibles, yours is hydraulic, and operated by an electric pump. The pump motor fails, because 9 out of 10 times, the magnets inside the motor come unglued from the case. To put this up manually, is a pain in the butt!!!! The rear seat has to come out, the LT & RT side trim panels have to come out. Then you have to try to get to the top of the hydraulic cylinder shafts to pull the bolt and release the piston from the convertible top frame. Honestly, it's easier to go the the salvage yard, and buy another pump and put it in. I have found that almost any gm convertible pump works, cavalier, sunbird, camaro, firebird, cutlass. The pum even looks the same as the one in my 70 442 conertible. I saw the pump chrysler is using in my wifes 94 lebaron, and it looks the same as in my 94 cutlass...... I think the sebring is also the same, chances are...... the pumps all come from the same place. Don't hold me to this info about the pumps, but I've seen enough of them, and you can't tell one from the other. I can change one of those pumps in 15 minutes compared to at least an hour to disassemble the rear seat and stuff .
