Default 2ND Crossfire

Just bought my 2nd Crossfire. 2005 Limited Roadster, Dark Gray. Had 2006, Black, sold it . What an idiot I was! It was in great shape.

Having problems with the 05, especially with the convertible top.

There are a few places to get a new top. If you want those names just ask. There a few threads on how to glue the glass back in if that's what you want to do.
I just looked into my top latch and found it heavily corroded. I plan to take mine out and do some serious corrosion prevention on mine then put it back in.
Top hydraulics will repair/ evaluate your pump for you if you send it to them. There is a thread on here on how to clean the sludge out of your pump and reservoir. https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...-system-2.html
You may have had one of your cylinders fail. Mine was pretty easy to discover I just looked for the oil spot in the back and mine was the top drivers side. If this has happened to you again top hydraulics will refurnish it for you for around $150.
The hydraulic fluid recommended for your top is CHF-11S.
I hope this helped
