'86 GT convertible hydraulic line repair?

[garza]

New to the forum, but need a question answered. I lowered the top yesterday, and when I went to raise it..nothing but the motor made a noise. the plastic hydraulic line on the driver side broke in two. Can this line be "coupled" or do i have to replace the entire line? i know I will have to add fluid to the motor resevoir.

Thanks,
Ricky
