This is for the seals to rebuild the 5 hydraulic cylinders that raise, lower, and lock your retractable roof, with multi-page guideline.
This set of 5 O-rings is what you need to rebuild all 5 of your car roof's hydraulic cylinders.
The O-rings in the kit are organized by cylinder, so you know which ones go to which cylinders.
This is an upgrade to the OEM seal, which is not capable of withstanding the aggressive/corrosive hydraulic fluids.
The Nitrile Rubber 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.
Fits the following vehicles built on the Mercedes R170 chassis:
