What is the issue you are asking about? Are the convertible top hydraulic cylinders leaking? If so, contact Klaus Witte at Top Hydraulics, Inc. He is the national expert for our convertible top hydraulic system . . .

I believe he has previously recommended a shop in the Naples area that might be able to assist you. Please keep us advised . . .

I recently sent in all 7 hydraulic top cylinders from my #4 Crossfire. I am expecting them back today. I suppose the hydraulic cylinders on all of our Crossfire roadsters will eventually need to be rebuilt

A leak that bad would seem more likely to be that one of the hydraulic lines came loose from the cylinder rather than the cylinder itself leaking. Please let us know what you find and please post a photo if you can . . .
