Roadster hydraulic oil leak

[PatCub]

Cautionary tale for all Roadster owners.
Went for a drive in the morning roof down came home and closed roof, had to go out this afternoon so went to get in car to find oil sprayed all over the interior.





One of the hydraulic pipes which raises and lowers the tonneau cover must have been leaking internally for a little while, this caused a blister in the outer rubber layer of the pipe which thankfully burst while I was out of the car. Looks like the cable tie has had something to do with it.



I suggest Roadster owners check these pipes which are next to the upper seatbelt mount.
