    The top on my 67'lark goes down but does not come up without having to manually assist it. What is the likely cause?
    Thx,

    Low fluid in the pump reservoir. Could be a bad cylinder or leaking hose (s).

    2nd that one. I replaced my lines and top cylinders this year due to the same issue, When I took it apart I found a crack in the upper passenger side line that caused a nice puddle under rear passenger seat. :mad:

    Was low fluid in the pump. Added half a qt or so and bled it as suggested by manual. Top works well now. No leaks so far. Will keep an eye out.
