Friends.
Hey Guys, I havent posted here in quite a while since I changed jobs. AS a result the Wifey's 99 Cab is showing some wear.
Has anybody had the motor that draws and closes the conv top go bad. I can still hear it running when I hit the switch, but its not drawing the top. What do you guys think would be the most likely cause? I havent seen any huge fluid leaks or anythinglike that, but I also don't know much about the mechanism itself...like what cable pulls what.
Any help appreciated.

OK I think I may have something. I took the cover off the motor, and found some sort or cylinder or resevoir with MAx and min markings. The fluid or oil in there was below min, so Im guessing thts what it is. Im gonna pick up some of whatever it is and try and refill it myself. Any hints on how to do it? There seems to be a bolt at the top of the motor. I think if I take it off that might be the place to put a funnell or something. If any body reads this anytime soon and knows that this is the wrong thing to do, reply immediately. I've stated before that I am not the most mechanically inclined fellow, but that doesnt stop me from trying to messa round with crap.

Well that didnt work. After filling up the fluid and moving the top up and down to get some if it in the system the top still doesnt retract or extend automatically. I dont wanna take it to a dealer or a mechanic 
but I might have to.
Well at least we can still take the top down and put it back up manually.
