I found a pull down assembly that doesn't operate. Is there a video or step by step instruction for replacing the motor?

Thanks Guys, I did find a broken pull down motor on eBay, then a replacement plastic housing, and rebuilt it myself. The real trick was in getting the pull down and release settings adjusted. When I have the hard top removed, the soft top works perfectly. but the hard top is missing a "J hook" that engages with the pull down motor. Anybody know where I can find one, or make one myself? As it is now the hardtop doesn't seat firmly, and rattles.
