Just musing/wondering:

Couldn't the hydraulic fluid leak past the piston seal, thereby providing no external evidence of a leak?

How sensitive is the sensor? Would the difference in position really be noticeable? There haven't been all that many Roadsters made, so any (all?) given shop(s) couldn't have had much experience with them. Would they recognize a quarter inch (just guessing) droop in a corner of the lid?

Couldn't one test this by putting a bit more opening pressure on the top/front corner of the lid on that side to see if the sensor makes and stays made?
