I just joined this group in the hopes of help fixing my deceased mom's beloved car. Her 2007 car only has 27,000 miles on it and remains in the family. The top and trunk problem occurred over a year ago and has been looked at by a few mechanics with no hope of fixing it. Any guidance and help with it would be greatly appreciated. The problem first started with the trunk not latching securely. Then the convertible top stopped midway when trying to close it and then wouldn't close at all. So it had to be manually disconnected to close the top. Brought it the GMC dealer where it was bought and they diagnosed it with having no hydraulic pressure, pump not working possibly caused by a switch. They couldn't fix it as they told me they couldn't get parts for it any longer. Another mechanic looked at it and tried to fix it and may have messed up one of the trunk latches as it severely bent as discovered by my brother-in-law who was at least trying to secure the trunk as water had gotten into it.
Along with this problem, the CD/radio doesn't work properly as I only can play AM stations and use the CD player and both the driver and passenger seats are rusted shut so that the backs can't lift up making it impossible for anyone to get in the back seats. Everything else is in good shape.
I love this car as it is a cool car and was my moms, but I need to decide if it is worth keeping and try to fix or should I let it go.
Thanks
