Uh oh. Putting the power top up the other day, and could hear a leak. Found it - I'm guessing there's a seal around the piston, and the fluid seems to be coming out of it.
Any suggestions on how to repair this? Also, any thoughts on how to drain the system without getting fluid everywhere (or is that not necessary?

Six years on my new O-Rings and zero leakage. Also one shaft was pretty scorn so I had to spend a lot of time with some Emory cloth. Trust me if I could get that one to seal, you shouldn't have any issues on yours. Real easy job. Also see my description on how to remove the rams, twisting action was the key for me.
