Default preventative maintenance convertible top

Hello, i was wondering if anyone has changed the hydraulic fluid or done anything else just as these cars reach 10 years of age. This is for a 2008 convertible with 50,000 miles. i have already done brake fluid, thermostat housing, water pump, battery, fuel filter. The convertible top is still working fine.

This is probably a case of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it “.
Only heard of one or two cases of work to that hydrolic system on this forum.

I agree. The next fluid on your list should be the transmission fluid. Didn't you replace the coolant when you did the Tstat and water pump? Why did you replace the water pump? They usually don't go bad on the 4.2L models.
