I need all the help and info you can provide.
I was told by the MB shop that I need to replace my left side hydraulic cylinder and left trunk latch. I need instructions and where to buy these parts.
Thanks for all your help.
I will be waiting

Hey Buzzle! After I replaced left hidraulic cilinder it's looks like some air traped in the system (roof closed and opend too fast in the end of procedure). Do you know how to bleed the system?

I havnt done that.
I assume as it is a dual circuit it should self bleed.

It's strange. It doesnt work that way on my car. Roof is just falling down into the trunk or onto the windshild frame with the clutter. Also I have to help the roof by hand when it starts to open. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the pics Bazzle. Never realised this thing was so complex and full of bits...

I found the problem! It's just my stupidity. There is no air in the system.
