    Is there a seal kit for the rams that lift the top? I have one that leaks bad and would like to rebuild both:Do No:

    I had leaky cylinders also and looked for rebuild kits with no success. I did a Google search on rebuilding cylinders and stumbled upon the Saab owners website. They had an article about using Lucas Hydraulic system restorer and stop leak. I figured for $12.00 it was worth a shot. It works really well. I put it into my '64 Electra top hydraulics and it stopped the leaks. You need to operate the top 10 times a day for 2 or 3 days to circulate it and wet the seals. I got the quart bottle at my local NAPA store but other parts stores should also stock it.
