i am having trouble getting top up and down. i have replaced the switch but top still don't work. recently the back window broke and it cut a hydraulic line is there anything special that would need to be done when i replace these lines. I noticed they were pretty dried up. also how can i tell if the pump is gone. Is there a easy way to get the top up and down manually. Down is easy but quite some work pulling it up. thanks for any input

There is no easy way to work the top without the pump working. The lines are easy to replace, just buy a new set from a parts vendor. check to see if the pump is getting power with a volt meter. If it is getting 12 volts then the pump is bad.
