What has happened is very common especially with an older R129. You now have put additional pressure to the system. If you took your car to a Dealer they would have suggested that you replace all 10 hydraulic cylinders so as to reduce the labor. But you would have paid about $1300.00 in parts. May I suggest that if you decide to continue rebuilding the system please consider sending your cylinders to Dennis Ficken for him to replace the seals. He does them at a very modest price and a quick turn around. Please read R129 soft top 'Hydraulic System' ultimate thread
