Important: Source used RH and LH motors from the same donor car to ensure matched wear. See Hardtop Drive Motor Failure for why this matters.
Parts Scarcity Impact
This discontinued part is one of the key vulnerabilities of SC430 ownership. If the RH drive motor fails and no used replacement can be found, the car’s retractable hardtop becomes permanently inoperable. This significantly impacts the car’s value and usability.
Recommendation: If you find a good used unit from a low-mileage donor, consider buying it as a spare even if your current motor is working. [General advice]
