Soft-top latch mechanism leaking hydraulic fluid
Hi all
My 2010 E500 need a top-up every now and again, since we're in Corona lock down I took time to find the leak.
I found two oil stains in the area behind the latches, I read on this forum, it can easily be fixed with two o-rings, but I can't find any information on dismantling the roof to get to these latches.
Can someone please help or point me to info on this?
Kind regards and stay healthy.

Thanks, my issue is, I do not know how and where to open / remove / disassemble the fabric on the soft-top to get to the leaking part?
