URO Convertible Top Motor Repair Kit

Rebuild Your Porsche Convertible Top Motor the Smart Way

When the convertible top on a classic Porsche 911 stops responding — or grinds, stutters, or refuses to latch — the culprit is almost always the same: worn or broken drive gears inside the top motor. URO Parts has engineered a targeted solution in the form of their Convertible Top Motor Repair Kit, letting owners rebuild the failed motor rather than replace the entire costly assembly.

What's Inside the Kit — and Why It Works

Over time, the original brass drive gears can develop cracks, missing teeth, or break entirely, rendering the motor inoperable. URO's answer is a precision two-piece gear set. The kit includes a new main gear and a driven gear assembly, and rebuilds one top motor — either the right or left side. One kit is required for each motor , so owners servicing both sides of the top will want to pick up two.

Designed for durability, the kit provides a precise fit and long-lasting performance, and comes with easy-to-follow instructions for a hassle-free repair. The repair kit is designed for easy installation and can be handled by DIY enthusiasts, requiring no special tools.

OEM-Grade Engineering Without the OEM Price Tag

URO Parts, manufactured by APA Industries, is a quality line of aftermarket replacement parts for import vehicles. The URO line has been OE factory approved on a number of parts for Jaguar and Mercedes, and APA conducts extensive quality, fitment, and lifecycle testing in-house. All URO parts are manufactured in ISO 9000 certified facilities to ensure consistency with the highest levels of quality in the automotive aftermarket industry.

URO's engineers also work with manufacturers to design improvements and build better-than-OE products on those parts that had issues from the original manufacturer. That philosophy is on full display in the Convertible Top Motor Repair Kit — the replacement gears are engineered to outlast the originals that failed in the first place.

Fitment and Warranty

The kit is backed by a 24-month unlimited mileage warranty, and fits the Porsche 911 from 1987–1989, the 911 (964) from 1989–1994, and the 911 (993) from 1994–1998. The kit restores the functionality of your Porsche's convertible top motor by replacing worn gears, bearings, and seals, ensuring smooth operation of the convertible top mechanism.

Common signs that the convertible top motor may require repair include difficulty operating the convertible top, unusual noises during operation, and intermittent functionality of the top mechanism. If your Cabriolet is showing any of these symptoms, URO's repair kit is a proven, cost-effective first step before considering a full motor replacement.
