Convertible Top: Service and Repair

Bleeding the System:

- Remove the filler plug from the reservoir and fill to the bottom of the filler plug hole with type A transmission fluid.

- With the plastic filler plug installed and engine running, cycle the top a sufficient number of times to adequately purge the system of air pockets. Excessive air will be noted in the transparent lines. Replenish the reservoir as necessary during the bleeding operation. Fill to the proper level and tighten the filler plug. When cycling the top, make certain that the cylinders have freedom of movement.
