Any Pics of Convertible Top Cylinders Installed?
So, I just realized it's been so long since I disconnected my convertible top lift cylinders, I don't remember how they go back in (I pulled the cylinders out on the fly... and at the time wasn't planning on keeping the car). Anybody got pics of the cylinders mounted in place? I was surprised to see no hole on the bottom... do they just drop in? How about the routing of the lines to the cylinders? I'm planning on re-installing the cylinders on Saturday... it might help if I knew how!

They mount near the top of the cylinder housing , not at the bottom, then the rod mounts to the top mechanism so when it extends the top lifts.
This is the only pic I have of my car showing the lift cylinders:

Anyone know the hose configuration?? For some reason I'm thinking the hose from the top of the pump go to the bottom of the cylinders? (I guess I've got a 50/50 chance of that being right)
