My top fails to close about 30% of the time. The trunk latch disengages but I have to manually help the trunk to open. Once it is open about an inch it will open the rest of the way on its own. After the trunk is open I often have to help the roof by lifting it up about an inch.
I took it to the local Cadillac dealer. They replaced the rear pulldown actuator. No change in the problem. After several days of discussions with some Cadillac tech person they now recommend new hydraulic cylinders and pump kit. I have attached a copy of their notes.
- Does their assessment sound accurate?
- If I do need this done is there a cheaper parts source?
I welcome any input.
