Default Hardtop and hydraulics don't work

Any idea how to secure the hardtop down. My hydaulics don't work and when I try to secure the top manually with the latch levers in the back it doesn't tighten down (leaves about a 1/4" gap). Any got any ideas on how to get the top to pull down closer?

Also, does anyone know the name or where I can pick up one of the latches that are on the hard top. Thought I'd try working with one of those to figure out the process without having to pickup the top so many times.

Thanks,
Ray

rayh,
In the owners manual for your model year (add to your profile, please) there are instructions on how to manually secure the rear latches using the 'special tool' that should be in the toolkit supplied w/ the car.

The front of my hard top will not latch all the way down. I detected a small amount of hydraulic fluid on the passenger seat, so I assume I need to repair the hydraulics, at least on that side.

Is there a forum link that might help me.
