You are right to ask. I tried to add more fluid because my top went up with "jerky" motion. Shortly after adding the extra fluid, I ruptured one of the hoses behind the rear seat. That filled the seat foam with ATF and half melted the vinyl seat covers (the vinyl became very soft and drooped). Years later everything dried out and pulled mostly back into shape. But that is not an episode I want to repeat.



what caused your line to rupture? unless you were running the pump after the top was all the way up, or all the way down, there's no reason why the pressure would build enough to rupture anything, unless your lines were bad enough they needed to be replaced anyway.


if the line ruptured and the line was ok, then something else was going on, binding up, etc. to cause a pressure spike.
