Convertible latch leak
 
I have a 98 SL500. Is replacing the convertible latches over the windshield fairly easy for a DIY’er.


Thanks

Depends on the DIYer, requires a torx bit set & about 1 hour.
WE rarely replace the complete latch($350. each) but only the hydraulic cylinder($140. each)

Make sure to use the correct fluid & to top-off the fluid.

Kinda a handy
 
I am kinda handy with cars ( I am new to MB's ).
My problem is how to access the cylinder. Is it easy to get to?
What size Torx are we talking about?

Thanks a bunch.
