Thanks brother. I'm tickled to not have to remove the whole mechanism to replace these rams. :)
Thanks for all your help brother!
This is dedicated to priericky128 who told me how to do it. My passenger side main lift cylinder was leaking and needed to be replaced. This is...
Just read priericky128's post on how to remove the main cylinders without taking the entire roof out! Looks like it's possible!
Thanks for this priericky128, this is something I'm going to need to do. I thought it could only be done with the whole top removed!
OMG! I got it to work perfectly this evening! After the discussions above about checking the oil level, which I have been checking regularly, I...
Replacing the secondary pistons only takes lifting the cover a little while in the 90 degree position. Only disassembly is unfastening the piston,...
The pump is supposed to be self-bleeding, but isn't it sealed? How does the air get out? Should I try with the screw plug removed?
Double checked the oil level again today. it is right in the middle of the bullseye with the top stowed.
I sent the pump in to be rebuilt first. The motor had burned out. I sent the secondary pistons in to be rebuilt because the passenger side one was...

I'm leaving on a two-week trip tomorrow so I should have that scanner here by the time I get back.
I'm constantly checking the fluid level with this problem. it's always in the correct level. I agree, it does act and sound like it doesn't have...
Here's a video of the top trying to close. To me it seems like there is not enough oil in the lines. Is it possible to have an air lock? Cycling...
Top Hydraulics
Car is a 2002. I sent the pump in to have it rebuilt a few weeks ago. Also rebuilt the two secondary cylinders in the top. Refilled with fresh...
OK, I have ordered the ap200 (white and gray). In the meantime, I'm going to double check hydraulic hose connections to the pump. Although i...
That sounds reasonable. I'll get that code reader and check it. I've cycled the top about 10 times. Funny it moves fine when stowing away. I think...
Oh boy! I spelled Weird wrong. But there seems to be no way to edit it. :p
