Should hold for months.  Get some soapy water, put air in the system, and 
track down the leaks -- my first big leak was on the schrader valve on the 
air tank itself.  There is no pressure on the cylinder when the doors are 
down so that is not the source of the leak.

On the pass cylinder, take it out, squirt some automatic tranny fluid or 
power steering fluid in there, and turn it upside down and let it soak in -- 
might swell up the cup.  Squirt some before the regulator to let it get to 
all the solenoids and other cylinder to lube them up.  Adjust the valves so 
it takes about 2 seconds for up and for down.

Both the vendors have body parts and one of the most common to replace is 
the outer door skin. Kim
