I do not think you can repair it. You just buy a new one and replace it.

Here are the part numbers for all the struts. The last one is what you need (do a google search on how to replace it, as the procedure is a bit tricky):

Hood (2 needed)
Mercedes-Benz: A 230 880 00 29
Stabilus/Lift-O-Mat: SG403057

Trunk (2 needed)
Mercedes-Benz: A 230 750 00 36
Stabilus/Lift-O-Mat: SG403056

Tubular Frame (1 needed)
This is on the right side of the car, by the battery, opposite the hydraulic cylinder that lifts the trunk lid backwards when you retract the roof. If you care at all for the life of your Vario roof hydraulics, definitely replace this one, right around when you replace the normal trunk struts.
Mercedes-Benz: A 230 750 01 36
Stabilus/Lift-O-Mat: SG303007

The Stabilus/Lift-O-Mat struts are available via the internet, and cheaper than the MB dealer.
