Hello there,

Can anybody tell me where the reservoir fluid is going to for the electric soft top. I have to top it up fairly regularly but I have no idea where it might be leaking from/to. There is no sign of leakage in the boot around the motor and when I look down the wells at either side when the roof is down, again, I can't see any evidence of leaked fluid!!

Many thanks!!

This is only a basic system with 2 hydraulic rams ,a pump ,and associated pipework.If there is no visible leak from the top ,then a would suspect a leak at the bottom of the rams.This would need the rear interior of the car to be dismantled to gain access to components.hth
