Roof works fine, goes up and down, When closing it seems to bottom out hard. If I moved up the bottom latch in storage area would that help. It has creased the bottom cushion and split the material.

Sounds like new roof cylinders might be in order. Mike at simple engineering sells them.

Did you mean "opening"? If it hits hard "Opening" it's the Roof Struts that need replacing! No big Deal. If you did mean "Closing" I have no idea. You will have to wait for smarter than me to respond!

The bottom cushion crease is normal on the SSR. There is a fix for that located in the “How to” library.

Eight Hydraulic Cylinders and TWO Pneumatic Cylinders.

Your gas/Pneumatic Cylinders are bad.

Each Pneumatic Cylinders is rated at 130lbs x 2 = 260lbs of "lift" for the roof but more important 260lbs on "cushion" when opening/storing roof.

When your roof "bottoms" out hard, like you describe, it puts jack hammer effect on your hydraulic cylinders.

CHANGE THEM ASAP!!

Go to my SSR How to Library: Look up ROOF PNEUMATIC STRUTS

Yup. New roof struts make all difference and help the life of the hydraulic system.

Member how long?

If you have been a member since 07 and truly don't know what the problem is; I think this is a GOOD time to remind ALL NEW R OWNERS / Forum members to read the Forum EVERY week, and familiarize yourself with the "How to Repair" library. The Tech Forum is also a MUST read every week.

Yes add new roof hydraulic cylinders to your Christmas list this year.
