Problems with convertible top on 2007 XK
Lately I’ve had problems with opening and closing the top to my 2007 XK. Very slow opening and sometimes needs some manual help. When trying to close, it starts coming up a couple of inches and can’t go any further without help. I checked the hydraulic fluid level and it’s at the full mark. I assume it’s the original fluid.
Any suggestions??

Thank you for your prompt response. My mechanic had a few suggestions:
The oil may be old and may need to be replaced or
the hydraulic lift supports my be internally leaking.
What at are your thoughts ??

· Ignition ON
· Raise window up to the top seal and release
· Raise again until window stops moving
· Release
· Press Raise button again for a 2 seconds
· Lower window fully
· Release
· Press lower button again for a further 2 seconds until a relay is heard to CLICK
If this solves the problem, and then it comes back again later, your battery is weak.

Yeah, always listen to THAT guy ⇑⇑⇑ when discussing convertible tops. He knows his stuff. ALSO, you really should buy his remote top controller. It's a seriously cool and useful gizmo. Once you have one you'll hate yourself for not having it sooner.
ANOTHER "also"...... I still think it's the pump. I had one slowly go blooey in my Mustang. A new pump and Perfect again. These probably use FORD pumps anyway, tho I've never looked.

Had the slow top problem myself, until I remembered I had the battery disconnected while doing some other work.
Did the window reset, and the top was back to normal.
+2 on theJagWrangler.com Remote Top and Rear Window Control, best mod you can do.

I have an 07 xk convertible. The top works fine, but the fluid level in the reservoir has dropped to the minimum mark, and there is a residue of oil in the cavity below the pump. A quick examination doe not reveal an obvious leak from any of the many hoses or from the reservoir. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

There is a company in Florence OR the specialize JAG tops as well as BMW, Mercedes Benz etc. They made a video of my 07 XK when I drove over there (I live in the Pacific northwest) The video is on youtube:

PULLED ON THE CORD NEAR THE HYDRAULIC PUMP
Hi Forum,
I recently had problems with my convertible top. While investigating what was ultimately low hydraulic fluid in my pump, I stupidly pulled on the small pull cord near the pump and now I cannot get the top to operate. I get the message "Top Unlocked". Can anybody suggest a way to correct the situation?
Thanks
