Slow convertible top raising

Slow convertible top raising
I have a 2004 6 cyl convertible with 30000 miles on it . Yesterday I put the top down and up and it didn't sound "right". Today it was slow to go down and even slower to go back up. I have left it up for fear of getting it down but not back up. What might be the problem and where can I find troubleshooting procedures for DIY work. I don't have the funds to take it to a "dealer expert". Any help will be appreciated. I think I am going to like this forum. Thanks

Is the car running when you're moving the top? I always have my car running. Gives the motor just a little more oomph.
Also, the hydraulic fluid in the motor may be low. A slow motor is a sign of that. Sometimes the motors just plain tire out but at 30k miles, I doubt that.
Check the fluid level. I hope you're flexible. You have to be a contortionist to get to it
