I would ask what the customer wants to do. Make sure to be clear that they understand you don't guarantee how long it will remain operational. Sometimes the parts become obsolete for the convertible tops as well. Take a good photo of what you found on the cylinders so they can see and judge for themselves.
Solid advice Mike thank you! Talked with the owner and this car has been in the family since new. He can’t recall ever the fluid checked. This will most like be how we proceed. Nice heart how othered deal with this
Top up the Top! 😁 Great to see you Will. I would discus my findings with the customer and leave it up to him. I would be comfortable with topping up the fluid to see how long that would last.
Hey Diagnose Dan! 😀 It’s Great to see you as well, thanks for taking the time. He has agreed as well, time will now be the ultimate deciding factor
That’s what I am going to do with my 08
My guess is the owners have never checked the fluid level and (as you say) just a slow leak over a long period of time. Nice work.
Great point . This has been in their family since new, and the owner can’t recall any prior
All cylinders leak some to lube the shaft and seals. If they have never added any to it, it's most likely just normal and not an actual leak. So yes, top it off and SHIP IT.
Did exactly this she’s back in service
I have a 2000 Firebird convertible, the same thing is happening to mine, so I'm gonna take your advice and pull everything apart. Check the fluid and I will add fluid and then order the Parts needed
Great vid, my exact situation going on right now! Have a 2003 Stang with the roof moving slower and slower, everything seems to be working otherwise, so I'll top the motor off and see how that works and for how long!
Good start
It's a good question Robinson 🤔 Thenk you.
Thank you, one of those low risk jobs that will most likely be ok.
Thanks for you vidéo 👍
My pleasure
I'd give the customer option Z, fabricate a larger reservoir and tell them to operate the top several times during winter so they have free rust proofing.
Heck yeah lol 😅 I’m going to state this on the report “be thankful the rest of these are rusted out, let it be”
Hi, I have a 2010 Chrysler Sebring convertible. The wiring harness was held up by electrical tape by the previous owner and by putting the top up and down, it got pinched and cut a couple of wires. I've been having issues with the driver side window not going all the way up and the top stopping Midstream when going up and down. I've been searching high and low for a wire harness diagram with no luck. Would you have any idea where I might find one to know which wire's do what? Thanks so much!
What will you diagnost if it aint making any nose just the click of the switch
This was helpful, thanks. Pretty sure I have the same problem going on, but unfortunately, mine is a Nissan Cross Cabriolet and I don't believe you can top off the fluid. According to the service manual the hydraulic system is self-contained and no way to add fluid.
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Great work as ever but not sure if that top was inside out lol
Hahaha thank you 😅 I will need to flip it next time
Thanks!💉
Your welcome
How much did you charge? I'm having the same issue with my 2007 mustang
Not much at all. Just topped it off. She’s still going far as I know
Will the motor make any noise? Or if no noise is it the relays?
Hey there! If you're not hearing any motor noise, it's worth checking the relays too. keep me posted!
i would leave it like that since there no major leak .if he has lots of money to waste go for the cylinder kit or cyl new if there oil leaking from shaft lol
Not a bad call, most likely the direction the customer will take
I would just tell the customer the facts. I’m sure they’ll be delighted with your low cost repair which will likely last a long time anyway.
With hopes it will, I believe this will be the direction we go
Absolutely just top off fluid and monitor operation and leaks. It looks like the car is at least ten years old. Thx
Old cars are like fine wine, they just need a bit more care and attention!
Ask customer how much he wants to pay? Might/probably go a couple or more seasons.
Fill it up and ask the customer if they would care to see if it last a week or another 10 years, something to ponder about, things that make ya go Hmmmmmm
Why bother reading the label if you weren't going to use the correct fluid?
Dex 2 or equivalent. not all fluids are dyed. It’s become a standard in later years when used as ATF for identification. Dyed would work just fine as well. You will find the OE fluid in these is not red. I’m assuming that’s why you made the statement
@robinsonsauto Never seen non dyed fluid. Only fluid I've seen that color is hydraulic fluid.
@@justforkiks29 thanks for sharing you thoughts
What would Jesus do? If he was a mechanic instead of a carpenter.
Hmm 🤔 good question. I’m thinking maybe he would fill it then say a prayer 🙏
Did not help at all mine doesn’t make any noise won’t even try to move top down video not helpful at all
Bad switch or blown fuse maybe?
He said in the beginning that if it's not making noise, it's an electrical issue. This video is not about fixing an electrical issue. Hope this helps.
