Definitely worth being able to use your convertible top again, isn't it? The other solution is to send them to Klaus at Top Hydraulics but a) they charge more b) you have to pay for shipping c) the turnaround time at Sarasota Cabriolet Hydraulics is over-night or same day so that CANNOT be beat.

To me I am always surprised how cheap Crossfire owners are. Seen it so many times on here and in Facebook Groups. Essentially you are driving a 35-50K sports car and I'd hope you'd want to keep it nice. But so many owners complain when a relay is $80 or a cylinder costs a couple hundred bucks to keep a beautiful/complex and rare piece of engineering alive and well. If it's like that, I'd just go with a 2004 Toyota Camry - parts will be much less and so will be the fun!

As for Cabriolet Hydraulics, I can only recommend these guys. They do an amazing job, warranty their work and I have yet to hear of someone having leaking cylinders again, after they refurbished them. Honest and good people!
