Full set of Top Cylinders - R129 SL-Class 1990-2002

$700.00

There are two options for placing your order:

1. (Most affordable) You send in your leaking R129 cylinders, and Top Hydraulics rebuilds them.

  • Top Hydraulics replaces & upgrades ALL seals in your cylinders with our superior proprietary material including rod seals, gland seals, port seals, plug seals and piston seals. Top Hydraulics' u-cup seals have a far more reliable seal and much longer service life.

OR

2. (Fastest) Core Exchange Option where Top Hydraulics ships parts from our inventory first ($1000 plus a $1000 deposit).

  • Option 2 means that you get a set of rebuilt & upgraded cylinders from Top Hydraulics' inventory first, then you ship back your original set for credit of your $1000 core refund. You get a full set that has been rebuilt to outlast and outperform OEM replacements.

 Mercedes Convertible Hydraulic Cylinders

 R129 SL-Class | Years: 1990-2002

Convertible hydraulic cylinder rebuild/upgrade service for Mercedes R129 models 300SL, 500SL,  600SL, SL320, SL500, SL60, SL600, SL73.

 

Metal parts in your hydraulic cylinders do not get damaged during normal operation. Sealing surfaces (for example the polished, chromed cylinder shafts sliding through the rod seals) can easily get scratched beyond repair by tools - especially during DIY repair attempts. Top Hydraulics can replace any damaged metal parts but has to charge extra for that service.

Seals used by Top Hydraulics, Inc. include Viton™ and Teflon™-hybrid seals, as well as enhanced Polyurethane material, which far exceed the OEM's requirements for rigidity, but provide more than double the service life for your convertible car top actuators, based on scientific test data. Making your roadster/cabriolet hydraulics better than new!

If the last six digits of your VIN are lower than 150000, then please place your order as if you had the model year 1996. The reason is, some early production versions of the model year 1997 still have a left tonneau cover lock, same as model year 1996.
