Down South

Saltwater, did you ever find the issue? I'm having a similar problem.

Thanks a bunch!

I'm also in Florida and mine has been doing this for at least two-three years. So far, no loss of wind velocity that I've noticed.

I've had my Fister mufflers for almost two years now. By far, the best mod I've done. Sounds like a pcar should, especially with the top down!

Refilling the hydraulic system is not going to fix the problem all the way. It'll make it work again for a week or two. The fluid level is low because you have a leak somewhere, which will continue leaking under pressure. Most likely a seal in the cylinder is worn; this is a common problem amongst our cars after they reach a certain age.

I got my car a little over a year ago, and almost immediately I had the same problem. Same scenario, the reservoir was almost empty and the roof was having a hard time moving despite the sounds of motors whirring. I found a guy local to my area (Sarasota, FL) who rebuilds cylinders, and was able to get my car fixed very inexpensively. I use my roof extensively and these things have held up really well so far; there have been no leaks and no change in performance. Removing and reinstalling the cylinders is not a difficult DIY project, and you should be able to send him your old ones to get rebuilt. PM me for more info.

I wondered the same thing, but I had absoutely no fluid leaks anywhere. It's been about a month and it still (knock on wood) working perfectly.

Yikes!!

It's definitely Graphite Grey.

I was at a car show a couple of weeks ago and saw this car. I don't think this is factory, but does anyone know? The owner wasn't around.

Mine was doing the exact same thing. The hyadraulic pump resevoir was 3/4 empty. Filled it up and now it works perfectly.

There is an excellent DIY posted on this site.

I've had mine for about a year as well. They sound perfect, especially with the top down. Just loud enough and absoutely no drone.

Thanks, Darin!

Another vote for Fisters. I've had mine for about five months now and I'm still in love with the sound!

Congratulations!

Definitely money well spent.

I installed mine a couple of months ago. Great sound and Darin is a great guy to work with. Best mod I've done to date.

Park Place did my PPI prior to my purchase. Very pleased!

I believe I've got the ignition switch blues! Today when I shut the car off (MY99), the inside chime stayed on, the radio stays on and the alarm system won't engage with the button on the key (the switch still thinks the key is in it). I played around with the switch a few times and got it to "hit the right spot" and everything turned off. My question: will this be sovled with the electrical portion of the ignition switch, or is it more serious? How difficult is it to replace?

Thanks for your replies!
