I apologize to bump this thread, but I attempted the hydraulic fix (your instructions made it really easy). Symptoms my car (2003) had was the microswitch arm breaking off. I ordered and replaced that and all worked fine. Next problem came when the top would stop half way. Took about 5 months before I can attempt to repair it (weather) but in between that time, the top stopped unlatching and the top light in the middle console blinks red. My windows won't roll down or anything. I had to open the top with a allen wrench and spinning it manually. I finally got around to replace the hydraulic motor today. It was easy with your instructions but before I screwed everything in I tested it out. No luck. Took the top out and inspected everything and it all looked right. Oh, I thought the microswitch might have gone bad so I jumped it and still nothing. Any idea's or suggestions on what I can do next? Plan E will be me buying a cordless screwdriver and fitting the allen wrench in it.
