Anyone know of a parts yard with a Cabriolet?
I am trying to track down some parts for my 96 Cabriolet.
I posted in the Wanted section on Audifans and the only response I got was from a gentleman in the UK.
If you know of someone actively parting a car or have one in a parts yard near you please send me a PM.
Thanks,
Mike

I've gone to this site http://car-part.com/ and looked for something that would indicate the junk yard has the whole car - such as a fender. Then I call them up and ask for what I really want. You will like this site.

I haven't had much luck with Cabriolet parts though. Most yards think Cabriolets are rare, so the parts are priced like they are made of gold.

Do you know about Force 5? I just ordered a window regulator and window motor for my 96 Cab...

Seems like a good operation over there in New Hampster. A buddy told me about them this past weekend.

Force5 charged me $95 including shipping to Tucson AZ for the complete right rear regulator assy including the glass.
I didn't want to use the forum for a wtb post since that is what the classifieds are for.
Main parts I still need are a Left outer and right inner tail lights. The lense for the third brake light. The switch in the center console to operate the roof (mine works, but button is worn. Not sure if the front handle is replaceable, but the one on my 96 has electrical tape wrapped on it. I may need to track down a left rear regulator. Someone made a repair to the body behind the driver's door and they didn't do the best job. The window frame is wearing from where it is rubbing on the door. I need to pull the parts from that side to see what shape everything is in.
I am hoping people have cars near them with u-pull-it yard prices. All the Euro only places think thier parts are worth their weight in gold.
