Seals for top hydraulic cylinders on 1995 sl320 r129
Does anyone know where to find the seals to repair a leaking hydraulics? I'm trying to rebuild the 2 cylinders located on top of the windshield because it's leaking hydraulic fluids. I've looked online but only sees O-ring seals for sale and I know it's not O-ring seals I need, but it's like U-cup seals. The dealership only sells the whole cylinder unit and it's expensive. Anybody knows where I can find the original Seals? Thanks .

Thanks Pazo for your reply. This site is in Germany and wondering if we could order the seals from them. Have you ordered from this site before?
Do you know what part number is the seal for the front cylinder located on top of the windshield? It's for 1995 sl320 r129.

Top Hydraulics is a great reference site for R129 RST: https://www.tophydraulicsinc.com/en/19-r129-sl-97-02
E.g. the front top lock p/n is 1298001672. Unfortunately TH do not sell seals.
The German, Bochum site is rather new so no, I haven't ordered from there myself yet. However it is the only one in Europe I have found so far that sells complete "proper" seal sets - not ordinary standard o-rings. Try email them…
