Thanks, Bob. The procedures would be great to have. Please e-mail them to me
when you have the time.

You ought to be able to see the cylinder if you have the top closed and both
the rear bow and compartment cover raised.

 

If a cylinder is leaking, it is easy to replace yourself.  I can email you
the procedure.  But the cost of the cylinder is expensive.  I think it is
about $700 at mercedesshop.com.  It might be less at calibermotors.com (ask
for wholesale parts).

Can anyone help me with my problem? I tried to raise my top yesterday and
the cover opened up but the top would not come up. Looked down at the hinges
and hoses on the Drivers side and saw signs of hydraulic fluid. It did leak
out and there was a puddle in front of the back tire. I just assume I broke
a line or some cylinder seal broke. With the top down I could not see any
cylinder or where the leak came from. Does anyone have a clue or know what
might have happened and how to fix it?

 

Thanks,

Franklin
