Soft Top Issue

Finally got my hardtop off today. Cylinders leaking both sides.
Tried raising the soft top. No movement, no motor noise, windows don’t lower, roll bar does not lower, nothing. Fluid level is full. Pressing the roof button in the lowering position the motor runs. Pressing in the raise position, nothing, silence. Roll bar will raise and lower using the roll bar button. Tried the window sink thing, no help.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a diagnostic tree for diagnosing the soft top operation.
Thank you for your help.

Well first you need to replace all the cylinders, then you need Star diagnostic to check for codes. Mercedes specialist should have it and be able to check your soft top out
