I have an 03 Cobra vert. The top goes down just fine. It goes VERY slow on the way up. There is no fluid leakage. Any thoughts?

Binding arms?
It's easy to go down cuz gravity is on its side, going up it is working against gravity.

I think something is binding. Once its starts going up it goes at a normal speed then about 12" up it slows down to a very slow crawl. If something is binding what would it be, how would I adjust it and what would have caused it?

Thanks a lot guys. Keep it coming.

You'd have to pull the rear side panels to "watch" it in action to verify. You can always try a little lubrication at the bend points and see if it helps, buy a can of white lithium grease (works best and lasts longer then WD-40).
Worth a shot and will only cost you your time and a can of lube.
