My 67 vert has a power top that works good but I think it needs to be bled if that is something that is done. Does anyone know how to do this?

Maybe someone will come up with a better answer. The last one I filled, I left it unpluged and ran it up and down, slowly adding fluid. After a few up and downs, closed it up and it never gave a prob again.

Fill it to the bottom of the threads in the fill hole. Cap it. Run it up and down a few times. Let it sit for ahile to let the bubbles and foam settle out. Check the fluid level and top it off if needed.
Repeat as necessary.

Thanx for the help, what kind of fluid?
Transmission fluid? I didn't notice a fill plug, is it viewable from withing the car?

Type F trans fluid is what I use and what Ford suggests. The fill plug should be on the end of the pump motor, and will be either a rubber plug that you'll probably have to remove with needle-nose pliers, or it might be a large slotted screw.
