Question about 1995 Celica convertible hydraulic pump (solved) Options

[spystyle]

Hello from Maine, USA.

I am the owner of a fixer upper 1995 Toyota Celica GT convertible

Unfortunately I'm not a mechanic. I'm a computer guy.

I am trying to get everything together for my mechanic to fix it up.

The top can open, but not close, I heard this can be caused by low fluid in the hydraulic pump.

I saw a video about it here (for a Mustang) https://youtu.be/Ym6Ec23nu6M

My questions are :

1. What fluid should I get ?

2. Are there any instructions I can show to my mechanic other than that video ? Or does the video basically approximate my same setup ?

Thanks
Craig

Interesting. Well I did find used and tested motors on eBay. One pair for $100 shipped seemed like a good deal. If the top gives me too much trouble I'll have my mechanic swap out the motors.

Anyway, thanks for the information, have fun
