99 jag xk8 vert problem

Had trouble for the first time with the roof not wanting to go back up. Put it all the way back down and it came up with a bit of nudging and closed properly. Just fluid??? How easy is the to do?

Check the fluid colour also if it is yellow it should be replaced with green Pentosin CHF-11S the old stuff can gel with age.
