Lawton Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Windows on both sides of the car will only go 3/4s of the way up. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Check the fluid level in the pump reservoir. Test the fluid to see if it is brake fluid. If it is, flush the system and refill it with fresh brake fluid. This should be done every year according to the shop manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphnof49 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Brake fluid is corrosive to paint, better to use 32 hydraulic fluid for tractors and lift pumps etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19tom40 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Brake fluid is not good for paint, and the system can be changed over to hydraulic fluid after a complete flush with denatured alcohol. I would also go the extra mile and have the seals in all of the hydraulic cylinders replaced. Then you will have a nice reliable system to operate your seat, window and top. You can also just flush the system every year and fill it with fresh DOT 3 fluid. Your paint is safe unless you develop a leak from rusty lines or worn out cylinder seals.
