Thanks for posting this. I have been having a problem with trying to get the top up. It takes a while like the pressure is having to build up and the last time I washed it, I noticed that some sort of fluid had gotten on the right engine cover towards the front of the engine. I must have a very small drip up there. Since I had just done the annual I was going to wait until I needed something at the dealer (150miles away). I will call my dealer next week.

Peter at the Auto Gallery called me a few days ago to tell me about this and to bring my car in.
