vario roof problems after replacing front locking cylinder

So I had the typical leaking front locking cylinder on my 2003 sl55 amg. I replaced it and topped up the fluid the best I could. The roof seems to operate mostly fine although maybe a bit sluggish. The real issue is it doesn't seem to actuate the new front locking cylinder with enough force to actually latch. (I can finish locking it easily manually with the Allen head). In addition the roll bar will not go all the way up and moves very slowly.
I do not think the pump is bad because it can lift the roof and trunk fine. It's like there's air in the lines for the roll bar and front locking cylinder but nothing I have tried has worked. Please help!
