I started my problem with trying to open my convertable top. It disconnected and backed up a few inches but no further. I reversed and closed it, then tried again. It still would not continue to open. I then tried to shut it, but it wouldn't move forward or backward. I read on the forum to try to let the pump run for 1 and a half munites. this didn't work and I found fluid in the floorboard the following day. I assumed the main lift cylinder was leaking and sent all five cylinders out for repair. I installed the rebuilt culinders and had problems. the tonneau cover would lift but I had a leak on the drivers side lift cylinder(unseated O ring). I replaced the O ring and all looked good. the tonneau lifted, the top lifted, the toneau closed then I reversed the top all the way back into the down position and the tonneau latched. I then started to close the top and the tonneau opened, the rear top opened far enough for the tonneau to close and the back of the top closed onto the tonneau but the front of the top quit moving forward. Now the top is a few inches from closing to the windshield and will not move forward or backward.this is the original problem and I seem to be back where I started.If possible, Please give me a solution to move forward?? Best Regards, Don

 

Is the one-touch feature for the windows working? The windows have to be initialized for the top to operate properly. 1. Operate the window switch until the window is fully closed, continue to hold the switch in the closed position for 3 seconds. 2. Release the switch, and again hold in the closed position for 3 seconds. 3. Operate the switch to open the window and once the window is opened continue hold the switch for 3 seconds. 4. Release the switch. Again, hold the switch in the open position for 3 seconds. 5. Verify the one-touch window feature is operating properly. 6. Do this on both windows.

 

Don,

(I offer this as advice for you to make progress and not just as criticism.)

This is the THIRD thread you have started on the same topic of CONVERTIBLE TOP. The earlier ones were:

Simply starting another thread is not the best way to get members' attention and relevant advice on an issue. Problems are solved by:

1. posting a question
2. take note of suggestions in replies
3. try fixes
4. post results

If some advice worked then state what it was. If nothing helped resolve the issue, post the bad news in the same thread. Members will follow a thread that interests them or where they have specific knowledge and it can frequently be a process of elimination to find the right solution for a fault. Multiple threads often makes members think they've seen it before and they don't reply.
