This hydraulic cylinder repair kit is not sponsored or endorsed by Mercedes Benz in any way.

The kit is and aftermarket product designed and produced by Wesbaun Consultants Inc to repair the failed, leaking Mercedes Hydraulic Cylinders that Raise, lower & Lock the convertible roof into position.

Mercedes will tell you the cylinders cannot be rebuilt and will want to sell you a completely new cylinder costing $$$$.

All hydraulic cylinders in vehicles or machinery you come across can be rebuilt. That’s why there are many companies out there that manufacture replacement seals.

If you are competent with the use of basic hand tools this kit is a DIY project for you and will save you $$$$

We will not be found responsible for misuse, misinterpretation and poor workmanship when installing the seals. Correct installation is responsibility of the Buyer, we are not responsible for the outcome of installations performed by third party installers like your mechanic. If you do use a mechanic please ensure he has carried out this installation procedure competently before

We used to print out the installation guidelines, however in some instances we received constructive feedback from the buyer asking us to email the original document as the printed versions, in some cases were dark and grainy which made it hard to follow. The files are actually too big to email and in most cases get bounced back undelivered by the recipients email server, therefor when you receive your order you will see a link via a QR code and also a web link version of the QR code that will take you to a crisp clear and in most cases color version of the guideline
