[R129 SL] Top Hydraulic leak

[r129list@mbcoupes.com]

Usually the hydraulic pistons that push the top cover up are to 
blame first...remove the carpet in the back of the trunk (in front)....on 
the right and left are pistons visible....they run about $135 
(discounted) each and you can do it yourself, if so inclined....check 
them on the top where the pin going into the piston is....try the 
mechanism up and down, if the sides of the piston are wet...well, 
that's them....
