{Chrysler 300} Chrysler 300 Convertible Top Maintenance

[<mplindahl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

 

My convertible top lifts up just fine when the top is up and it has to move off the windshield to lower it.  It has a lot of problems lifting from the open position (resting in front of the trunk).

 

I tried cycling it, but each time the top is open, it struggles to lift up the first half of the cycle.  I have not checked to see if the hose/cylinder is clogged.  Is it best to start with the top of the cylinder or bottom?  Any other suggestions.

 

Thank you,

 

Mark Lindahl

PS-my pump is using brake fluid, not power steering fluid.
