Thanks, Pizzaguy. Correct. I wasn't clear on this...

You are not being clear here. Do you mean the rear window bow unlatches but does not move and the pump stops running or does the pump still run?

If the pump keeps running, your fluid level is low. If the pump stops, we have sensor/cycle trouble.

When I try to open the top by turning the D ring the windows go down, the rear bow unmatched and pops up about an inch and the pump stops running.

I checked the pump level and it is still at its full mark. (As an aside, I changed the fluid with Pentosin when I put in the new cylinders.)

Will try the other bypass procedure you cited and report back. Thanks again. Too nice of a ride to give up on it.
