conv. top - What goes down doesn't come up!

[65_wcat]

I've got a very frustrating problem that I hope someone can help me with.

I decided to replace the top cylinders on my '65 Wildcat. When putting up the top, the right side would come up pretty far and then the left side would pop up sharply. After tht point, the two sides would move in synch and top would come up normally. I didn't want to bend the top frame, so I decided to replace the cylinders.

Now, after replacing the cylinders, it struggled to come up once. After that, the right side would lift up a little but the top wouldn't come up at all!!!. If I gently lifted the left side while my wife hit the switch, the top would eventually come up.

I've replaced the pump, bled the system a few times (don't see any bubles in the lines, even oiled the hinges, but to no avail. The top does go down smoothly.

Any ideas??????????

Thanks.

hey greg, you might want to move this into the "general" forum and out of the "buy sell" forum :-)
