Thanks for the post. Worked for me as well.
A few tips for other readers. I first got the proglem in spring. As I had not been using the top for 6 months or so I thought it was just a bit seized up. I furst go suspicious when I could manually move the section with the rear window in it with little or no resistance but the top still failed "soft top failure" when trying to move this section.
I a,so had the straining noise and the annoying gap between the wind screen and the roof. I was having to yank the handle down to make it latch.
Ended up buying the proper fluid from saab (42usd). Not sure if other hydraulic fluid would have worked but didn't wand to gamble. The bottle says "not for sale to the public" on it - must be nasty stuff.
Also be careful not to pinch the pipes when rotating the pump housing.
Cheers - Aust.
