Thanks for the response and ideas. I assume your top replacement was a recall issue or some such and cylinders are still original? I am new to the roadster world but not the crossfire. I owned a 2004 coupe for 11 years and just sold it after I purchased my good friends 2008 roadster.
Would you provide me with some direction on lubing the cables, what you use and any other info you think would help a mechanically challenged individual?
I was unable to locate any info the list of fixes. Replacing the pump fluid clearly sounds above my pay grade.

Thanks very much in advance!!
