Convertible Top Release Cylinder Seals

One of the seals in your top release cylinders has failed. Here is a link on how to go about replacing them.

I would recommend you contact Dennis Ficken about getting yours rebuilt. Last time I checked he charged $40 per cylinder and $15 shipping. It is a whole lot cheaper than buying new units. You can contact Dennis at:
