the top on my convert died on the trip to Penticton cruise this weekend

try putting a top up and down without the hydrolics !!

could not get at the bolt to release the pistons and also did not have tools to remove it anyway

had a "new motor - pump" that i bought of a member a few years back and installed it at it wored

perfectly !! top has been sitting 1/2 way up and has not fallen either way

has not done that for years 

tin under pump just in case, will finish tommorow
