Topless69GT 28 Report post Posted September 28, 2014 I bought my convertible top hydraulic cylinders from Scott Drake a while back and I installed them today and they won't allow the top to fully go up. They seem like they need to be a little bit longer. I compared them to several other original ones and they do appear to be short by 5/8 and keep my top from fully going up. Has anyone else had this issue with new top cylinders? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted September 30, 2014 power top Yeah, a quick google search revealed they don't even reproduce the manual cylinders so I should have known. It would bother me that there's a 5/8" difference from OEM. Maybe a call to Scott Drake is in order - I see they're made in China, maybe a bad production run or something. I found these guys on-line who are made in USA and on sale (cheaper than Scott Drake), might be an option? http://www.convertiblecylindersdirect.com/catalog/item/7730627/8233397.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Topless69GT 28 Report post Posted September 30, 2014 Thank you. I called Scott Drake yesterday and they are suppose to call me back today. I also emailed the company you gave me the link to and asked them to send me a measurement to see if they will work. Thank you! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
