My 89 year old grandpa gave me his SSR
And told me to take care of his baby. He had been bummed out because the roof quit working a few years back. I can’t wait to get the module back that is currently getting fixed so I can go pick him up and take him on a ride.

Lucky you! I can only imagine the look on his face when you take him for the first ride with the top down!

What a great grandson!

Glad to hear that you're getting the roof door module (RDM) repaired by Mike at Simple Engineering. No one else is able to repair the SSR's RDM and if someone tries they may damage it to where it can no longer be fixed. RDMs are über rare and expensive to buy on the open market. (The most recent one I saw on eBay was going for $3,000).

Otherwise, good for you and what a great grandson!

Helloooo from Cincinnati and the Buckeye Guys! What an awesome gift! Where are you located? There may be help nearby to show you some ins and outs on your new to you truck. If the top hasn't been working, you may have other issues to get ahead of as well.

WELCOME from Quincy,Illinois
Tell us where you are and there may be a Fanatic in your area that can take a look and confirm that the RDM is the problem. Dealerships and shops who are not familiar with SSRs are notorious for misdiagnosing and blaming the RDM whenever the roof quits.
Having a Fanatic take a look could could save a lot of time and money!!

No he has never been on the internet. I would look for SSR roof door modules from time to time but could never find one then a few months back when I was searching and felling frustrated knowing my grandpa is running out of time I found this form and read mike just fixed a few so I got all excited.

What a blessing it is for your Grandpa to gift his "Baby" to you! Something I believe many of us hope that a child or grandchild may cherish our truck as we do! Welcome to our forum and we look forward to perhaps meeting you at some Fanatic activity! The friendships we develop because of our cool little trucks are second to none! Welcome from the Buckeye State!

 

[Mr Met]

What a day brightener your story is, @Chris walden ! Please take some pictures when you take your Grandfather for a ride in your truck with the convertible top restored to operating condition! Welcome to the Fanatics Forum from Central PA (Enola).

 

[OOH WEE 03]

What a great story. Would love to see pics of you and grandpa on that first ride!!

 

[Bowties4us]

Welcome from NE Maryland, and welcome to the Fanatic Family, you won't be bored here!
As we often hear when talking about classics, the story to go with the vehicle can be as interesting as the vehicle itself.
You and your grandpa make such a story...get that roof down and take him for a ride...I'll bet his PermaGrin will return!😁
And maybe you can get him to get on the internet....never too late to learn!

 

[Ruckzuck]

Great grandpa, great story,

Welcome to the Fanatics
Maybe your grandpa can enjoy the permagrin from time to time on the passenger seat.
