Then a couple of days ago, I noticed fluid leaking from the front left hand cylinder in the windshield frame. Obviously it needs to be fixed.

Does anyone know of a place that has a rebuild kit or do I have to spring for the whole cylinder? It's around $125.00 but I'd much rather buy a rebuild kit if it's available?

Thank you all in advance!!
I knew I was going to buy my 380 SL the moment I looked at it and the salesman demonstrated the manual top. The power top on my 86 Mustang Convertible I waited for to fail every time I used it. No help I know but I love a well engineered manual top.
