Default Convertible top hydraulics maintenance

Hi forum!

So I recently purchased a well maintained 2005 SRT Roadster with 25,000 miles on it. First time owning a roadster and just trying to see if there is any maintenance that is required on the hydraulic system of the soft top?
Anything to watch out for when it comes to the mechanics?

appreciate the insight!

I have two roadsters, both 05s one with 90k miles one with 70k miles. On The higher miler I have replaced the top, top pads, main latch assembly, all four cables, and had all the cylinders rebuilt by Top Hydraulics. The lower miler has had no top repairs and they both function perfectly. I would say it’s just luck of the draw, if it ain’t broke just enjoy it. I will say the low miler grew up in WA state and has always been garaged since in AZ. The car that needed all the work has lived it’s life in AZ and is not always covered. I imagine that issue has had at least some effect on condition.
