It is one hose from the pump to the latch. I contacted two hyd. co. to manufacture a splice and one to design the splice but all declined. One of the concerns was the fact that they were dealing with a hose that was not made under the American standards.

Gus did you inquire about just having them make up a new line set with the correct ends to connect to the pump and lift tubes. Esscentially replacing the entire hose assembly from the factory? Was the company you made your inquire to Parker?

Parker was of no use to anyone. I called them and both of my hyd shops called and got ZIP for a response. As for the hose look on my page, the hose we now have will outlast the car.

Welcome!

Have you checked your fluid level at the pump over the CD changer? It should be between the two embossed lines.

Do you have the owners manual? If so it has information on how to close your roof manually.
