I can do that part it fine if the engine is off but not when it’s on. Maybe I just need a helper on the other side of the roof - wouldn’t take much hydraulic pressure to make it difficult by myself?
I appreciate your help and linking the video!
Hi,
you can't do it manually with the car running. It keeps pressurizing the system and it will make it difficult to move the top in any direction.
Release the pressure when the engine is off as Mark said in the video. Then move the top to either open or closed. Repeat this process manually a few times.
Then try it using the button with the engine running.
Here's how to refill the hydraulic reservoir. Make sure it is at the max line before proceeding.
