97 Z28 convertible system maintenance?
 

Hi all,
I am wondering about any sort of general maintenance for the convertible top system on my '97 Z28. Last fall I had a new top installed but I'm wondering about everything else. For instance, do I need to lubricate anywhere on the frame? And what about the hydraulic system...does it require some sort of maintenance? Should I be checking the fluid or maybe changing it?
Thanks for any input!
Jeff

I can't really answer your questions but you can use this link to download a free service manual for the 96, which should be the same for the convertible top section. Note that the manual is in a few sections; get them all if you can.

My 97 service manual calls for "Microlub GL-261" or equivalent on the bushing and screws. The top Hydraulic fluid is plain 10W oil.

GaryDoug I couldn't get anything from that link except a blank page. Z28SORR thanks, I think I'll try that and search some more for a service manual too. I have a Haynes manual but it does not mention the convertible top system at all.

Try again.... worked OK for me just now. I've used those links for the past two or three years. Excellent source.
