Default 2003 Mustang Top Problems ( noise driving and top goes up slow)

To start this is a get forum.. I just bought my wife a 03 GT and noticed a few problems.. Driving the car the top is making a lot of noise where it meets the windshield... I am hoping that I just need to adjust the hold downs a bit more down.. And second the top goes down smooth but is slow goin up.. I have read it might be low on fluid... What is the best way to check this.. I pulled down the back panel in the trunk and have located the pump.. Where does the fluid go... Any help here would be great..

Hi-- I would try adjusting the hooks first as this is the least expensive way to go. If that doesn't work, you might have to buy a new weatherstrip. I just bought one from LRS. Easy install in about a half hour. As far as the fluid level, the top should be down to check the level and the plug is on the drivers side of the motor. With the motor level, the fluid should be just under the bottom of the hole. Check you tube for better details. Hope this helps.
