leaking roof cylinders

I'm sure this topic has been discussed many times. I went to put the top down and i got drenched by oil coming out of the top of the windshield. Can someone give me the easy, simple way to fix the problem? thanks

I bought some rebuilt ones from Toop Hydraulics in Oregon, and sent the old ones back for the core charge refund.

^^^ Good move. Rebuilding with that kit is terrible.

Thanks for the heads up , i just picked up a 92 R129 that needs windshield latches to be rebuilt. Someone who i know that has rebuilt theirs said they had decent results with the ebay kit. Either way i realized it isnt leaking from the seals anyway but from the silver piece in the middle so im going to use the company you posted to replace It
