Pins the cylinder pivots on.

You have another option...

Remove or cut the lines to the cylinders, be prepared for fluid to come out. Or remove the lines from the pump.

Leave the cylinders in place and the top will open or close with no additional resistance

So I went back out to the field, and there is no way for me to get the pins out with the top being partially raised. I found the top motor wiring harness under the seat, and unplugged it. I’m charging a spare battery to take there to try to get the top to raise itself. Does anyone know if up is the red or yellow wire? If that doesn’t work work I’m gonna cut the lines and raise the top manually enough to remove the cylinders to store them way for the winter. On a side note I saw the left rear window glass is gone. Is it a convertible only piece or will a sedan/ fastback do as a replacement? Thank you all for your advice, it’s invaluable to me.
