Hello,
Changeing the hydraulic cylinders are actually not that difficult. All spare part cylinders are supplier pre filled, so there should be no problem with air getting into the system. Do the change with the main top closed and the 5th bow up, but becarefull not to damage the hydraulic hoses. Open the emergency valve before removing any cylinders. Change one set first (for instance the main cylinders) and then let it settle (the air will separate and vaporize. Remebrer that the left side cylinders have internal switches so do not turn on the ignition while working cause it will generate a fault code in the STC. Also be carefull not to overtighten the hydraulic connectors.
Small leakage or "moisturising" of the cylinder rods are normal. This is normal procedure to grease the rods and to help seal the cylinders. Especial leakage can occur if the top is moved by hand, because the seals only work with hydraulic pressure.
Hope it helps.
