tonneau cover solinoid

Need to buy a solinoid for the '87 vert. The driver side is not releasing, is there anyone online selling them - new or used. Thanks Rick

Thank you. the pics will help me to see if they are the same. From the
research i have already done, the 83-86 were done by Autoform not
ASC. As you can see it is a two seat speedster with a hard boot cover
that has an electric latch release to open it.

Re: tonneau cover solinoid

how much you want I may need one set unless you have just the latches. one side of mine won't latch. I think it is just the latch but who knows. how much do you want for a set?

Re: tonneau cover solinoid

solinoids 20 bucks apeice or 30 bucks for a pair add 5 bucks shipping
Latches 10 bucks apeice or 15 bucks for a pair
hope these prices sound fair, like I said these units have been tested and are in working order.

Radiorick has dibs on whatever part he needs first

Re: tonneau cover solinoid

so you need pretty much one whole side. I can accomodate radiorick and you

Ok which side you need, looking at this stuff I seem to remember that the solenoids are universal (mount on either side) BUT the latch I think there is a left and right, or drivers and passenger I think

correct me if I am wrong, I just dont want you to get the wrong latch, when I go home after work I will verify the latches but I am almost sure I marked them with dirvers and passenger.

$10 for latch 20 for solenoid and $5 bucks for shipping ($35.00)
If sounds fair and will work for you pm me your address phone #
and I will do the same.
