2013 GS vert need help
The top closes hard, hard enough to make the rear view mirror move a few inches down. Dealer replaced two front hydrolic cylinders and bleed system, it did not fix problem. They just replaced the pump/manifold system and all new o rings, bled system and still the top hits the top of the windshield very hard. They do not know what else to do. Does anybody have a fix for this?
Thanks

I think that the #1 bow coming down hard is a result of having a nice tight top. Mine comes down fairly hard but doesn't have any negative effect. It may be that your rearview mirror is looser than it should be. If it were me, I would just reach up and slow the top down a bit with my hand as it comes down on the windshield...keeping the hand out from between the two.

Yes, I believe it's in the Owners Manual. Do not let the top drop down to the windshield header unassisted. In other words, stop it just before at about 3 or 4 inches, and then with the motor going hold it up so it's a "soft landing." It's the way I've been doing it for seven years.
