My convertible top doesn't go all the way down. I had the top and one of the cylinders replaced a year or so ago and ever since I've had this problem. Is there an adjustment?

Brad,
Thanks. that could be it. The top goes down completely on one side, but the new cylinder is "squishy" and won't pull the top all the way on the other, leaving it uneven. Do you know (or anyone reading this) how to check for and get rid of a bubble?

Does it 'not go all the way down' on both sides? Is it even when it stops?

I will be replacing my entire top soon and read that you need to be careful in how you prime the hydraulic system that moves the frame. If not done completely, there will be a bubble in the system. Could cause the system to stop.

Just a potential. . .
