If your Mercedes has developed a leak in the hydraulic actuator that locks your roof to the windshield, this is what you need to make a Long Lasting, Inexpensive and Easy repair.

This is an upgrade to the OEM U Cup seal, which is not capable of withstanding the aggressive/corrosive hydraulic fluids.

The Enhanced Polyurethane compound used in this seal is exceptionally resistant to petroleum based oils, found in hydraulic fluids used in the Mercedes Benz convertible top hydraulic system.

On a scale of 1-10, I would rate this task as a 6 being easy enough for DIYers.

For repair of Mercedes Benz part numbers:  FRONT LOCK CYLINDER 1718000072
