Hello everyone. Hoping I can get some insight on how I need to go about getting this thing taken care of. Right now the cars in a buddies garage cause it broke while I was out and it was supposed to rain that night, so I won't have pics until Wednesday.


What I know happened is that I was putting the too up cause it was supposed to rain, and things went normally at first, and the roof managed to get back in place, but the trunk didn't close. So I checked the hydraulic fluid reservoir and noticed it was low, so I filled it with the chf fluid. Decided to go on the safe side and cycle the top back down a little to get the fluid running through the system. Instead, when the roof got about half way down there was a snap and the rear glass and too collapsed into the trunk (didn't see broken glass but I hope it's fine...).

The only two noticeably things wrong are the rear deck wing on the passenger side doesn't fold in as much as the one in the driver side, it's like the spring is fully compressed for some reason. And on the driver's side, there is what looked to be a hose of some kind with a threaded metal end with a nut in it, and it looks to be that it may not have been tightened down all the way, which resulted in the threaded section itself being snapped in half.

I can get pics on Wednesday, so I doubt any that info is helpful by itself, but here's hoping.

If the hydraulic fluid was low it is most likely you have a fluid leak. When the top makes a loud crack or snapping noise, unless there was some other obstruction, it would often be one of the plastic wings on the flip up cover did not move fully out of the way. The hinges are operated by what I would think of as a bicycle brake cable that pulls them out of the way when the top is in motion. In my case the hinge on the wing snapped, but the glass and roof were ok. The plastic wings are mostly cosmetic and the top can function without them as long as they remain out of the way.

Just guesswork without pictures but hope it gives you an idea of where to look.
