Hello gang! I have a '90 gt conv. That needs a new top. I plan on ordering a top, the book, and the video from LMR. I've never installed a convertible top before.

Hello Gents, good morning,

I looked last night and can see that both of my convertible top hydraulic cylinders are leaking and need replaced.

From what I gather here, it's best to replace all components, at once, pump, lines and cylinders?

Are the cylinders and lines hard to access to replace? I also noticed last night one of the tops cables was slack\no tension so that's not good either.

Thanks! I was just reading through that, good stuff. I've already decided I'm doing it myself so I just want to collect as much information as I can.
