2000 9-3 convertible top hydraulic pump

So, I recently started to get soft top failure messages on the SID when raising the top. Top goes up more slowly and stops about half way up. I let go of the top switch and re-actuate it and the top completes the raise sequence. Brought it to my local former Saab dealer and techs indicated that the pump hydraulic fluid level is OK, there are no observable hydraulic leaks, and the 5th bow microswitch is working fine. They determined that the hydraulic pump is getting "weak" and the only fix is to replace the pump to the tune of over $3K. They indicated that eventually the pump will be unable to raise the roof but that it could take years to get that bad. Does anyone know if there is company out there that rebuilds these hydraulic pumps? I posted a rebuild request with Module Master but have yet to hear back from them.
