Hydraulic leak found....HELP!! Click link to see photo
 

The image below is of the left interior side of the trunk of my 1991 300SL. When the soft top is operated there is a BAD leak were the arrow is pointing. How is this repaired?

The cylinder will have to be replaced. I can't tell which one it is although it looks to be the major roof lifting strut.

If that is the strut it is part# 129 800 02 72. With the trim off the outside of the top well there is access to the bolt.piivot pin at the bottom.

Steve,
Are there any manuals detailing the procedure that you know of?
I would like to do it myself.
Thanks,
Allan
