I sent off the driver's side actuator to Top Hydraulics in Oregon and they rebuilt and sent back. i put things back together, ended up deciding to run the hydro lines as marked on the pump (opposite of the way the dealership left them) and i was very excited to see the top ran perfectly.

when i came out the next morning to reinstall the top onto the car, i noticed the passenger side actuator was leaking! dang it, i should have sent them both actuators at the same time, but the passenger side didnt show signs of leaking until the drivers side was fixed.

so i sent off the passenger side for a rebuild and just waiting for that to come back.

Top Hydraulics seems pretty good so far, quick turnaround and rebuilt parts functions properly so far. and heck of a lot cheaper than buying new actuators/hinges.

i also decided to relocate the pump to the trunk, so it will be easy enough to figure out and switch the wiring to the pump.
