|  Hydraulic Fluid for Roof Pump Does anyone know if there's another brand/type of hdraulic fluid that can be used in the roof top system. I need to get both my roof top cylinders replaced as they are both leaking, badly. I can get about 2 complete cycles, top down/then up, before i need to refill the hyd pump resevoir. 1 quart of MB hyd fluid is $30. If there's an alternate and acceptable brand I'd sure like to know about it. |

 | I've never seen the specs on any of the systems sorry but i suspect its MB or the highway. Whats the delay in getting the cylinders replaced? why don't you just drain the system down and not use the roof until its fixed, that fluids not good for the bodywork.
