Hello and welcome to just answer. Yes you can. The pump and reservoir are behind the rear seat. There is a fill plug on the side of the reservoir. Let me see if I can find the procedure for you.

Ok, you need to use Dexron II in this system. Here is the procedure for you. I hope this helps, and let me know if you need further assistance with this.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
The power convertible top hydraulic system consists of;

•Two hydraulic cylinders
•Hydraulic lines
•Electric hydraulic pump and reservoir
•Dual relays
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM TESTS
NOTE: The convertible top will raise slowly or make abnormal noise if the hydraulic fluid level is low.

1.Remove rear seat cushion and back.
2.With the top down, remove the reservoir fill plug.
3.Visually inspect fluid level. If low, inspect for leak in hydraulic system.
4.Fill reservoir with Dextron II automatic transmission fluid to the bottom of the fill hole.
5.Repair or replace components, as necessary.
6.Replace fill plug and raise top.
7.Lower top and verify fluid level.
