I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your dedication to the SC community. Recently, I had been struggling with my SC convertible top, and I was at my wit's end trying to troubleshoot the problem. But Byron came to my rescue like a true superhero! In a mere 10 seconds, he was able to identify the root cause of the issue that had eluded me for days. Byron assistance was invaluable, and I am deeply appreciative of your help. I would highly recommend your channel to anyone who hasn't subscribed yet. Your expert insights and practical advice can potentially save thousands of dollars in repair costs. Your humility and approachability make you an outstanding member of the SC community.

I had so much fun watching how happy and excited you were when the top went down! Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Hey Byron I happen to live in Texas myself, and I was hoping to receive some help with my convertible top as well

Very nice job. Thanks for posting. I'm sure it will be of assistance to others. With the cost of dealership repairs, we all need to help one another.

Thank you for being so thoughtful and thorough! Very helpful

I"m planning on buying an SC430 soon. I hope I don't have to worry about this for a while yet, but I'm glad this video is here in case I run into problems.

Thank you for this video. My sc430 2002 back dash board gets frozen and doesn’t move.rest of the roof moves as it should. So I follow procedure in the car operating manual. Open the roof till it’s horizontle. Then back dash is suppose to move up,it doesn’t ,so I manually with one hand( to avoid lots of pressure) lift up the black dash board and then push it down again. Then close the roof from semi open position. Then open the roof with the switch. This unfreezes motor for dashboard and now it starts working as it’s suppose to. Usually I have to do it couple of times a year at most. Of course , long term proper solution is to service the motor as shown here.

Thanks for sharing. I have an 02 also, will keep this in mind, great info.

Thanks for making and posting the video. 🙌 🙌

Excellent information. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

Lexus wanted to charge me the same to repair my SC430. I now have a SC430 coupe with 225K miles on it! It is not my main vehicle anymore but it still runs. Just wish the top would go down.

Good job man

Great video but i sure wish you would have put on the video how you got to the package tray and how.to.remove it. Itook out the head resr and the.back seat couldn't get to the motor from there

damn you're mechanically inclined. unlike me.

Are you offering your services to folks with the same problem?

Great Video my 2002 lexus sc430 roof will not close and the button just blinks when pressed. What should I do??

That was very helpful thank you so much

Hey I'm getting a b2518 code for the package tray motor circuit open is that mean my motor is going bad

Okay… haven’t experienced any issues until I reassembled a/c controller for GTA kit (apple CarPlay). Top went down but won’t go back up. The top switch just flashes red. Any thoughts?

I have the same car, the wings on the back seat is not deploying so that the top will go into the truck without issue. Could the motor be the issue?

I'm dealing with my convertible top not opening now also on my 2004 sc430, but I doubt I could ever fix it like this. Are you a mechanic or engineer?

Hey what's going on I'm having problem with my 02 convertible top SC430. Press the button to retract the convertible top. The trunk open up the rear windows drop the convertible top open about inch and a half and stop. feel like something is holding it back. Then I press the close part of the button the trunk come down and locks the windows come up and a convertible top locks back into place. Repeat the process it only opens an inch and a half and got stuck. Can you help me I really appreciate if you can.

Hi, great video! Hey, was the red light on your switch on all the time? Mine tried to roll down the doors windows but they got stuck in the middle of the way. After that, the red light didn't turn off again. I rolled up the windows but the back ones stayed down. Thankfully I reset them and got them up again using the glove box and open/close combination. Then I disconnected the battery for 30 minutes and when connected again, the red light was gone. Tried to open the top again, door window went halfway again and red light on. Could it be the same motor issue?

A portion of the operation, yes. The entire process takes a computer and multiple motors and switches working in harmony....
