Thank you for this detailed instruction on repairing my leaking Mercedes SLK320 Front Lock.

[@johngoodwin2768]

Thank you for the awesome video. You wouldn't happen to have a video of the Bow extension cylinder anywhere :)

[@davidmansir8469]

Thanks for the great video. I just got a 1991 R129 and a week later the tonneau cover stopped working and there was a bunch of hydraulic fluid on the ground behind driver side seat. I think I can do this(fingers crossed)
Cheers,
Dave

Cody,
Thanks Very Much for the clear description and process......Can you please be more specific as to what size the O-Ring is ??? Going to try the repair but need direction as to where to buy it or what generic kit would have it etc...Asked a couple of o - ring online places with your description of 9mm x 9/16 or 9mm x 14mm and was told missing the hieght dimension......
Your a Life Saver......

[@gordonbone4243]

Good video I have a 320 CLK 2001 I can't fine one video about the hydrolic shocks that push the roof up replace remove not a thing can you help thanks for that video I'm in the UK

[@jeanjacketclothinginc660]

I can open the roof on my vehicle perfectly but when I close the roof I have a small problem. It closes but the last part of the back glass doesn't close all the way. It leaves a 2 inch gap. I checked the hydraulic oil and there is no leak. I would appreciate any help.

[@eduardom8423]

what is the size of the wrench used to remove the cylinder from the latch and for the other cylinders? ty

[@bartoszchrzanowski9115]

Hi Cody, I've got a problem with my `95 A124 Mercedes, after replacing seals in the cylinders of the main hood lifters, the roof does not open. I had to let it replace, coz the left one was leaking badly (my mechanic replaced both sides just to be sure). The one that (un)locks the roof was replaced last year (received new seals too). Hydraulic fluid was topped up to maximum level (original one from MB). Now when I try to open the roof, the rear lock opens but the roof part where the glass window is lifts very very slow, and if finally rises so the front part can rise nothing happens. The button to open the roof blinks (I think even right from the moment on i pull it to open). Did you have such situation, do you know what the reason might be? Te engine runs when I operate the roof and I'm in P mode of course.
