Default Vert Tech

lookn for anyone that knows something about the verts, My vert top goes up and down, down is fast like normal until it gets to the very last bit of travel, going up is a different story it takes almost a full minute to go all the way up. it's gotten slower too, before it took 15-20 seconds at most and it's getting progressively slower. I know cars mechanically and electrically but hydraulics... never touched the stuff so anybody that knows please give me some info lol. the pump still sounds the same, I know you can refill the system but i don't know how.

anyone got ANY ideas?

Check in the Gen Section...there's a Vert subsection at the top.

Sounds like you're low on juice. One of mine had a slow leak and it did the same thing from time to time.

*update* ok well i found the fill plug for the pump/reservoir and it was almost empty lol. so i filled it up ran a couple cycles and it half emptied, filled up again few more cycles and it stayed full so i got the system primed and filled. top goes up and down better than it did when i got the car now. guess that means i have a very VERY slow leak that i probably won't be able to find till it gets to be a bigger leak. o well, figure it out eventually
