Look up Top Down Solutions in the search. or TDS. One of those probably the first one will give you info on most of the info you need.

Re: trunk motor compatibility

1986-87 is constructed slightly differently but is functionally interchangeable with a 1988-early 91 unit. You can use most of the parts from a 88-early 91 to repair yours. Of course I sell all the parts to rebuild yours better than new. The late 91 has a tan-colored molded plastic frame and has just one part in common with your pull-down unit (the gear nut).

Download the instructions for the 101170 aftermarket nylon guides from the lower left-hand side of my site under "documentation" so you'll know how to properly disassemble and repair it. Or download the Tech Article for repairing the 1986-91 pull-down units I wrote that is posted here on TGO.
