Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

After cleaning up the car and trying to put the top up, it did not work.
My 1999 cabro convertilbe top stop working properly while opening and closing. Did a lil online research and took to indy mech, who discovered cab convertible top hydraulic cylinders were leaking, recommended replacing both. I looked on line with quotes of $1400. He saved me $$ by removing them both and sending them out to get rebuilt at half the cost. Just wanted to pass on in case this happens to your top.

Just received two cylinder from tophydraulic and had them install at a local shop. Seemed to work well but then I noticed that the up/down bottom light was on. I attempted opening and closing and things worked even thought the light was on. After cleaning up the car and trying to put the top up, it did not work. I plan to go back to the shop tomorrow but I thought I'd contact fellow rennlist member first.
Spring is here and now the cab owners start to get problems with the soft top action. Make sure that your battery is in tip top condition and fully charged. That's the first thing I would check. Auto Zone will do the check for free. Also try action from the key in the drivers door. Continuously holding the key to the left, top goes down. Continuously holding key to the right, top goes up. Frunk and engine lid should be closed and handbrake in full on position.
I've got an '05 SL500R sitting in my garage with a top with badly leaking hydraulic cylinders. I've got to pull all 11 of them and send them off to get rebuilt. Apparently if you just try to do one cylinder at a time, the ones that weren't leaking before will start leaking shortly. So, best to have them all rebuilt at once. I think it is a matter of "when" rather than "if" on all convertibles with hydraulic cylinders, at least from what I've read. Think of them like a cloth convertible roof - if you get 10 years out of it, you did good.
