leaking Hydraulic fluid

[moneyguyforu]

I put my top up yesterday only to have hot fluid drip onto the passenger side seat. It was dripping from the pillar. I am afraid to put top down now as I suspect it won;t work. How does one get at the pillar cylinder and are they expensive to repair ? thanks

Be prepared to remove every cylinder and have Dennis rebuild all of them because when you repair one, they all begin to go.
