2 more specific items of advice:
1. Use the correct hydraulic fluid. It's name and part number are identified in another thread somewhere - I don't have it. Do NOT use just any hydraulic fluid!!
2. It is important that the SSR be level ANYTIME the roof is cycled up or down - not just when checking the fluid level. The body of the SSR is pretty "flexible" due to its convertible pickup truck construction (see my e-book for the details behind this), and so it distorts slightly whenver the vehicle is parked on a slope (front to back OR side to side). If the roof is cycled with the body distorted, and especially if the slope is substantial, misalignment of the roof or even binding during operation could result. Once this happens, repair is difficult and time consuming, since very few GM mechanics have any experience with SSR roofs. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure . . .
