awdspyder98,

I remember your case for a peculiar reason: you are one of the very few Crossfire customers for whom the other side didn't leak soon after we rebuilt the first one. Although all seven cylinders in the Crossfire convertible top system are bound to fail at roughly the same time (compared to their age), the cylinders which are used in pairs normally fail within weeks of each other. The reason is, the seals in these cylinders are from the same batch, they have the same dimensions, and they have been exposed to the same use and temperature fluctuations. Well, maybe the same side of your car was always parked in the shade, or the previous owner had just replaced the other cylinder before they sold you the car last year... ;-)
