There are two options for placing your order:
1. (Most affordable) You send in your leaking cylinder, and Top Hydraulics rebuilds it.
- Top Hydraulics replaces & upgrades ALL seals in your cylinder 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 ($135 plus a $200 deposit).
- Option 2 means that you get a rebuilt & upgraded cylinder from Top Hydraulics' inventory first, then you ship back your original part for credit of your $200 core refund. You get a cylinder that has been rebuilt to outlast and outperform OEM replacements.

Rebuilding your R230 SL-Class Vario Roof Top Front Lock/Latch cylinder with the best seals available. 3-year warranty. Core exchange available. Cylinder must be shipped with lines attached - they need to be traced all the way back to the pump. P/N 2308000872.
Seals used by Top Hydraulics, Inc. include Viton™ and Teflon™-hybrid seals, as well as enhanced Polyurethane material, which far exceeds the OEM's requirements for rigidity, but provide at least double the service life for your convertible car top actuators, based on scientific test data. Top Hydraulics replaces and upgrades all seals in each cylinder.
About the port seals:
At the age of the original parts, it is essential that the port seals (where the hoses go into the cylinder housing) get replaced. Of course, we are replacing them with a far superior version. Replacing the port seals requires some fancy machining and extra parts:
On the front lock cylinder, we machine out the crimps in the aluminum cylinder housing, create a clear mounting surface and tap holes for clips, then we re-fasten the hydraulic lines with laser-cut, stainless steel clips.
In the end, you get parts from us that are far better than new ones inside at a fraction of Mercedes' list price.

Klaus took the time explain over the phone how I could save hours of by not having to fish the entire hydraulic line from the cylinder to the pump. This made the replacement so much simpler. The replacement cylinder is working perfectly. I will be coming back to Top Hydraulics for the other cylinders as well.
There are some things in life you just don't have to worry about. Top Hydraulics is one of them. You know when you place an order if they have one it will be on the way. When it arrives their signature quality is obvious. If you have a problem, that is when you will be glad you did business with them. Klaus is tech support at it's very finest. <br /> I have tried them all. From the kits to rebuild the cylinders yourself, to the other companies. You will not find a better product and support. I don't even consider using anyone else.
