Quality Used Top Motors & Pumps You Can Trust

A burnt-out or failing convertible top motor can leave you stranded with your roof stuck halfway open. Replacing these specialized electro-hydraulic pumps at a dealership can be incredibly expensive. At Falcon Car Parts, we provide genuine used convertible top motors that deliver factory performance for a fraction of the price.

Because these motors sit in the trunk—often in low spots where water can collect—they are prone to rust and water damage. We carefully source our used pump assemblies from dry environments and rigorously test them to ensure they are ready to bolt in and pressurize your system.

  • Electrical Verification: Tested for proper spool-up and no excessive amp draw.
  • Plug-and-Play: OEM harnesses mean no cutting or splicing wires to install.
  • Complete Assemblies: Includes the electric motor, pump body, and fluid reservoir.

Motors for Every Convertible System

Convertible systems range from simple mechanical setups to complex hydraulic networks. We carry the right OEM power units for your car.

Electro-Hydraulic Pumps

The most common type. An electric motor drives a fluid pump inside a reservoir, sending high-pressure fluid to the lift cylinders. Found in Mustangs, Camaros, and BMWs.

Direct-Drive Electric Motors

Used in some specific folding top systems where an electric motor uses gears and cables (rather than fluid) to pull the top frame back and forth.

Hardtop Retraction Pumps

Heavy-duty, multi-valve pump assemblies designed specifically to handle the massive weight and complex folding sequences of modern retractable hardtops.

Our 6-Point Quality Check for Top Motors

You need a motor that won't leave you stuck in the rain. Every used convertible top motor we sell passes these strict standards:

  • 1. 12V Bench Test: The motor is powered up to ensure it engages immediately without hesitation, clicking, or smoking.
  • 2. Sound & Bearing Check: We listen closely for screeching or grinding, which indicates failing internal bearings or a burnt-out coil.
  • 3. Water Damage Review: Because these sit in the trunk, we inspect the exterior casing and electrical contacts for heavy rust or water intrusion.
  • 4. Reservoir Integrity: The plastic or metal fluid reservoir is checked for stress cracks and leaks to ensure it will hold hydraulic pressure.
  • 5. Connector Inspection: The plastic wire harness plugs and internal metal pins are checked to ensure they aren't melted or corroded.
  • 6. Thread & Port Check: The hydraulic output ports are inspected to ensure the delicate brass or steel threads are not cross-threaded or stripped.

Common Questions About Buying Used Convertible Top Motors

The convertible top motor (often an electro-hydraulic pump assembly) is the electrical unit that generates the pressure required to drive the hydraulic cylinders, which in turn push the convertible roof up or pull it down.

Prices for a used OEM convertible top motor and pump assembly typically range between $150 and $450, depending on the complexity of the vehicle (e.g., standard soft tops vs. complex retractable hardtops).

Common symptoms include a top that moves very slowly, a loud whining or grinding noise from the trunk area, the motor getting excessively hot, blowing fuses, or clicking without the motor turning on at all.

In most modern convertibles, they are a single integrated unit. The electric motor sits on top of or next to the hydraulic fluid reservoir and pump mechanism. We usually sell them together as a complete assembly.

No. To comply with shipping regulations and prevent messy spills during transit, all used convertible top pump assemblies are drained of hydraulic fluid prior to shipping.

Yes. Once you install the replacement motor and fill the reservoir with the manufacturer-specified hydraulic fluid, you will need to cycle the top several times to bleed trapped air out of the lines.

OEM motors feature exact factory wiring harnesses, proper mounting brackets, and the exact pressure output required for your top. Cheap aftermarket motors often overheat easily and require cutting/splicing wires to install.

Typically, the motor/pump assembly is sold on its own. Hydraulic lines and lift cylinders are sold separately because removing and routing the long lines through a car's interior is a separate, complex process.

Absolutely. Every electric convertible top motor is bench-tested with a 12-volt power supply to ensure it spins freely, doesn't draw excessive amperage, and operates without abnormal internal noise.
