I topped up the hydraulic fluid today although it really wasn't down much at all. It didn't make any difference so I made some adjustments to the cable lengths which also didn't seem to have much effect. Admittedly, I was pretty conservative in adjusting the cable lengths. It still takes three cycles of the lockdown catch before it hooks up and pulls the front down. I would greatly appreciate anyone's suggestions.

Thanks for the offer. I'm going to get the fluid tomorrow and, time permitting, hope to do the job. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you for the quick reply! I have had a look at the DYI so I'll give it a go and will thank you in advance for putting me on the right track. I'll give everything a lube while I'm in there. Lot's of moving parts but not as bad as my last car, a VW EOS which must have 10,000 moving parts in the top. Cheers!

I've had this fantastic car for a little over a year and it came with a new top. When I cycle the top to close it, the closing latch hook doesn't quite reach the latch socket (on the windshield frame) on the first cycle. If I continue to hold down the switch it will finally stretch out enough to catch but only on it's second or third attempt. After that everything is fine, windows come up, etc. I asked a mech about it and they said that it would stretch out in the summer but it hasn't. I've just been reaching up and pulling down on the top to help it out but would prefer that it worked as designed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. BTW - its a 996
