Convertible top pistons

[steve from staten island]

Ive been trying to bleed them the way i read but still one rises before the other and i still see that the lines are not solid (no air) with fluid. Any advise as what im doing wrong---Thanks

Here are the guys to ask: www.convertibleparts.com or 626-285-2255
Bought all my parts from them . Good guys to deal with. My guess is that one side has a bind in the linkage that requires more pressure than the other, or the 'T' is obstructed to one side. Good luck.

you may have a bad piston. I would change them around and see if the same side reacts the same way. that will tell you if the piston is bad.
