Replacing all of the convertible top hydraulics on my 1994 SL320 (R129)

This was a very intense job. It took about 25 hours total for me (spread over 5 days) and I have never done this before. I try to capture my experience as accurately as possible - the good, the bad, lessons learned, and more. The hydraulic roof cylinders were repaired by ‪@TopHydraulics‬ in Florence, Oregon. Klaus at Top Hydraulics has a GREAT playlist for the R129 that you're going to want to check out here:    • Mercedes R129 SL-Class - How To Repla...   That playlist was essential for when I pulled the parts from a junkyard car before sending them in for repair. I pulled the parts from a 1994 SL500 at Pull N Save South in Phoenix, Arizona. Putting the repaired cylinders back in was more challenging! Klaus provided great support to me while I went through this process. It was challenging. Besides the Mercedes R129, Top Hydraulics does repairs for a LOT of other cars and they use extremely high quality seals.
