Convertible Top

Jontue Harris · Sep 25, 2012

Hey guys having a problem with my convertible top. The guy doing my interior says the top wont go up all the way. Does anyone no what the problem might be? I while ago I notice a hydraulic cylinder leaking but it stopped and I haven't let the top down since then. Could use some advice or input as to what you guys think...........

Answered your own question. Its low on hydraulic fluid. Fill it up, and probably will be leaking again. Fix the leak and you are golden. They are easy to work on and prime themselves.

Do/should I buy a new set ? And are the leaks easy to fix...??? If its a hassle I was thinking about buying a new set........

If its the cylinder itself, I'm not sure without looking at it. Used ones aren't bad to come by. Is it coming out around the cylinder shaft or the fitting?

New ones are 99 bucks each. Not bad. Check ebay for used.

I think it was coming from the bottom were the fitting is i believe...... Also is this a restoration problem? I have a guy doing my interior and my top so is it possible for this shop to do it or do I have to take it to an actual auto shop...... I would rather instead of doing myself..

A real mechanic can easily do it, as can an upholstery shop probably. You can soooo do it yourself. Don't be skeered.

Cool thanks for the info brother..... One more thing you know much about top end ...... I think i know where I wanna go just need to be pushed in a direction....... With everything I have so far for the top end I was thinking of an e303 cam and trick flow stage 1 heads.... Im going with the e 303 because I live in cali. not sure what else would be legal....Any opinions?

I'm not the guy for that. I can fix broke but knowing what combo to choose..look to the tuning section or ask someone who knows.
