I think I’ve successfully rebuilt one of my leaky convertible top cylinders for less than the cost of a cup of coffee. Considering that new cylinders typically cost over $100, even if my rebuild only buys me one or two more seasons, it’s a pretty good return on the investment. For anyone interested, I documented the process in my thread in the Projects section: https://cccforum.discoursehosting.net/t/copycatvert/311/195
Dang! Perhaps I should not have scrapped three leakers!
I just replaced my leaking cylinder 4 years ago. Did the other side too, “while I was at it”. Hoping in don’t need to either one again anytime soon. Thanks for the info.
