Convertible Top Cylinders

[Hozer 88GTConv]

On the side of the cylindrical unit, there is a 3/8" diameter rubber plug. It is a pita to get out, I use small needle nose pliers to ease it out a little and then get a better grip with some bigger pliers so as not to damage the rubber (but it's stronger than you think).
Take slack out of the hydraulic lines carefully, and set the motor vertically and literally pour dexron tranny fluid in it until it tops out. The reservoir holds about 8 ounces, but cycle the motor after you top it off, to aleviate any air pocket issues, then top it off again. You will notice the top cycles slowly as it works the air out, then it will work much faster. Three cycles should work out any air.

*Make sure you have plenty of rags, you will spill some for sure. And you want to get that stuff up asap b/c it will absolutely stain anything it touches in the car.(yes, this is from personal experience)

Good luck. Convertibles are the best.
