It is likely a stress crack from the window sitting on the bottom of the opening. If you have no leaks you could consider a thick clear film over the window. I used an 8mil thick clear film to try...

Make sure you are not pulling air from a loose connection. That is what it sounds like to me. If the pump can pull air it will vs pumping fluid.

Likely a clogged vent

I suspect the issue is the vent is blocked. Either the screen (usually next to fill port) is corroded/blocked or a pinched line. I had to clean the vent screen on our prior 2008. I used a wire...

You have some options. The a-frame carrier works well. We have it on our TT and while I was skeptical I like it. Hardest part is lifting the bike onto the rear hooks and making sure I don’t hit...
