Anyone know of an independent mechanic in Metro Atlanta who has experience replacing the hydraulic cylinders for the convertible top?

I'm not sure who to recommend in specific, but wherever you go, make sure they get rebuilt cylinders from Top Hydraulics (https://www.tophydraulicsinc.com/en/...-220-cabriolet). You'll save a fortune over new cylinders and end up with a product that is better than the original OEM.

Yes, that's my plan. They have rebuilt cylinders for me before.

I hear it's not that hard (but time consuming) to do it yourself?
