Hello from Maine, USA.
I am the owner of a fixer upper 1995 Toyota Celica GT convertible  Unfortunately I'm not a mechanic. I'm a computer guy. I am trying to get everything together for my mechanic to fix it up. The top can open, but not close, I heard this can be caused by low fluid in the hydraulic pump. I saw a video about it here (for a Mustang) https://youtu.be/Ym6Ec23nu6M My questions are : 1. What fluid should I get ? 2. Are there any instructions I can show to my mechanic other than that video ? Or does the video basically approximate my same setup ? Thanks Craig

the convertible top?
does not use any hydraulic fluid. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=39973 this is what you need to read..... probably its working with one motor, and closing the top requires both, since is heavier. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years...

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

njccmd2002, thanks for chiming in.
My top can open just fine, but when it goes to close it starts but gets stuck. As if it doesn't have enough strength to rise up all the way. Like it can't get passed a hump. At this point I go to the trunk and throw a switch to "manual", then I stand on the back seats and pull the top up to close it. It sucks. The funny thing is, recently I had it open and close just fine, once, I was happy about that, LOL. Would you assume the opening motor is good but the closing motor is not ?
