So it is happening ......... my convertible hydraulic system is L E A K I N G. The solution I am finding is through a company called "Top Hydraulics"

Replacing the complete system, including the pump, will set me back $1,600.00 The how-to videos they provide are most excellent. Their spiel is very good. Would be great to find a coupon!
I have a set of steps to build for my daughter first and then a cruise. When I return, I will tackle the removal and send the old parts off to avoid the core charge.
Any suggestions from those of you that have replaced this system yourself would be greatly appreciated.
