Description: All new full colors manuals! This auction is for the PARTS and MANUAL for rebuilding ALL FIVE of the hydraulic cylinders that raise, lower, and lock your SLK's retractable hardtop. We are the originators of this repair method--and have been helping people quickly, easily, and affordably repair their leaking roof actuators since 2007. Is your headliner wrinkled and bubbled? Do you have oil spots in your trunk? If so, the hydraulic cylinders that retract your convertible hardtop are most likely leaking. Lucky for you, you’ve found the easy, affordable, and only permanent way to fix the problematic cylinders in your hydraulic system yourself! If you can change the oil in your car, you can install this COMPREHENSIVE parts kit with 44 pages of highly detailed instructions and 100+ pictures that walk you through the process step by step. In this kit, we even provide you with a set of four handy picks for disassembling the actuators. And if you have a question, you will have our phone number (contained in the instructions.) Yes, this project is easy enough for DIYers. Just ask any of our THOUSANDS of satisfied customers. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise with fear, uncertainty, and doubt--or outright misinformation. In a recent customer-satisfaction survey, 100 percent of responding customers indicated that this project was simple to do, the manual was easy to understand, and that many years later the o-rings are still working perfectly.

Ebay item number 281741788115. For repair of Mercedes Benz part numbers: 170 800 0072 / 170 800 00 72 / 1708000072 (Front lock to windshield) 170 800 0572 / 170 800 05 72 / 1708000572 (Left main drive) 170 800 0672 / 170 800 06 72 / 1708000672 (Right main drive) 170 800 0372 / 170 800 03 72 /1708000372 (Left trunk lid) 170 800 0272 / 170 800 03 72 / 1708000372 (Right trunk lid) 10 reasons why you should choose this rebuild kit: REASON 1: No need to remove the actuators from your car and send them off for who knows how long. The hydraulic lines are permanently affixed to the actuators at the factory. And fishing those thin, stiff hydraulic lines through the various tight cavities of the SLK is incredibly difficult and time-consuming. Just consider trying to get the lines in and out of the B pillar. Not our idea of fun. REASON 2: Here’s the root of the problem: The polyurethane material that Mercedes used for the seals in the five hydraulic cylinders that retract your hardtop deteriorates within 5 to 10 years’ time. It also isn’t chemically compatible with the hydraulic fluid they use. THIS IS THE SAME POLYURETHANE MATERIAL THAT OTHERS INSTALL WITH THEIR "SERVICE." Go figure. So those seals are continually breaking down and eventually leak--this is especially the case in warmer climates. If you’re reading this, you’ve unfortunately already seen the results for yourself. REASON 3: The o-rings in this kit are composed of Nitrile rubber. This rubber WON’T break down like the Mercedes seals, ensuring a leak-free repair that will last a lifetime. These stout o-rings provide frictionless actuation of the hydraulic cylinders without rolling. Anyone who tells you differently is just trying to scare you. REASON 4: This kit contains all the PARTS you need to rebuild ALL FIVE problematic hydraulic cylinders: the one above the headliner that locks the top to the windshield, the two in the front of the trunk that raise the top, and the seals in the two hydraulic cylinders on the sides of the trunk that raise the trunk lid. REASON 5: Our repair method takes less than 4 hours from start to finish--with common tools that you already have in your garage. And it's actually fun and easy! REASON 6: If you go to the dealer, they are going to quote you something in the neighborhood of $4,000 to fix the problem. Now, that’s a nice neighborhood, but the Mercedes parts are only going to leak again. That is just insanity. And I feel for those people who have been suckered in by the “stealer” for that repair, lacking other options. It really should be a warranty issue, as Mercedes screwed up--the actuators should have been built with o-rings in the first place. REASON 7: We have a professional copywriter on staff. Our 44 pages of instructions are clear and highly detailed WITH 100+ PICTURES that walk you step by step through the repair process. The 44-page instruction manual alone is worth the price of admission. To say nothing of the components included in the kit to rebuild your leaking hydraulic actuators and fix the problem once and for all. A sample page is provided here to give you a sense of the quality of the instructions. REASON 8: If you have a question, we are only a phone call away. REASON 9: Our stellar ebay feedback. REASON 10: Your money back if you're not satisfied. But you should know that we've sold THOUSANDS of these kits to date--to many many satisfied customers. :) People love this kit!
