This sale is for Both the ROD & PISTON CAP SEALS to rebuild the hydraulic cylinders that raise, lower, and lock your retractable roof, with instructions. 

PLUS Free Hydraulic Pump Refill Instructions

This comprehensive set of 30 plus O-rings is what you need to rebuild all 11 (or 12, depending on year) of your car roof's hydraulic cylinders. Because of changes made by Mercedes during the R129 chassis' run, We have included all the possible combinations of o-rings needed--regardless of year or model.

The Kit Includes both the ROD & PISTON O-ring Seals

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 seals, which are not capable of withstanding the aggressive/corrosive hydraulic fluids.

The Nitrile Rubber compound used in the 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 R129 chassis:
