You might check and see if you are low on fluid, or/and have a leak somewhere. My olds did that to me when I had a leak and the top got low on fluid and had lots of air in the system.

It would go down just a bit slower than normal, on the return it would start up, then stop. I had to replace one of the rams, refill and bleed the system, now it works almost as well as the Camaro.

pfizer will help you with that certain hydraulic problem and make sure enough fluid is getting to where it needs to... that should bring it up like it did in the days of yesteryear.
