Hi, I’m Dan, I have a 1996 Tiara 3100 open. The electric windshield vent motor has stopped working. I have no information on it other than the name on bottom of unit is Thomson. Any help with repair or replace would be appreciated.

Piggybacking... the vent actuator on our 2007 3900 Sovran works but will wake up the dead. Any information on sourcing a new motor would be helpful.

Measure the actuator fully closed and (assuming it isn t working) disconnect it from the window mount and open the window as far as it normally would be and measure the distance from closed to open. That will give you the approximate travel of the actuator.
Go online and Google Thompson linear actuators. You will find a ton of suppliers and can look at the specs on them. You don't need one with a heavy lift capacity. They will have them listed by length, travel distance , voltage, shaft diameter and lifting capacity.
