not so smooth top retraction

I have a 2003 and recently replaced the top motor and both side pistons ("ugh"). Now after 5-10 cycles the top is acting strange. While going up is no problem (and the top locks fine), when I :( put the top down, it moves as it should for about 2/3 of the cycle and then goes into a free fall for the last 1/3 to the point where it shakes the car. Has anyone had this kind of problem or any ideas what the problem is. I hate to think of having to do another top motor.
 
The work was done by a German repair facility that I've been using for years. I have to believe they bled the system when they replaced all the top parts. I will ask that question when I go back to have the problem fixed.
