convertible top wont go back up
 

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on anywhere other then the Ford Dealers that i can get the hydraulic pumps for my convertible top. Im hopin its just the pipe busted or something if its gonna be expensive to replace the pumps. The top will not go up all the way its wantin to lay on the back windows. AND ITS RAINING LIKE HELL HERE http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif

Has anyone had this prob before????

mustangs unlimited sells them too...I've never had a prob with my 84...

and a '68 stang that WAS nasty ;-)

oh yeah, try pulling the top the rest of the way up... might get it to close

I tried to pull the top up. I hit the switch while my b/f and his brother tried to guide it over the windows but it wont go any further. It stops in the middle. It all started the other day when i run out of gas (my gas hand dont work dont try no female drivers jokes http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif ) and i was gonna put the top up and walk. But it wouldnt go. it put a deep scratch or crack or something on the back driver side window. The ford dealer wants to charge me $65 just to look and see if its the pump or a hose.

I had to replace my pump just a few weeks ago, simple process. In the meantime, for ease of raising and lowering the top manually, remove the hydraulic lines connected to the pump. I was able to lower and raise the top all by myself once I removed the lines... By the way, I've seen several of them on ebay really cheap as compared to what a rebuilt on will cost you. Hope this helps

Did you try refilling your pump with hydraulic fluid (ATF)? You just pull the seat, pull the rubber stopper and fill it up.

i think either the pump is busted or the hose is cuz you can hear the fluid leaking when u press the switch. So im not sure if it would work
