Review: Worked like a charm - After watching a few videos on failed cylinder in the roof locking mechanism of the R230, I bought this kit. It takes some time to get to the cylinder and drill it out in order to access the 25 cent rubber grommet, but well worth it and problem solved! Saved $2000 in repair bills! Thank you!
Review: Best product for a do-it-yourselfer - I was able to fix the leaky cylinder in my 16-year-old SL (which I bought cheap last year) for under $50 - compared to the $1,000+ I was quoted at the repair shop. The instructions included were excellent, and there’s no more leak! FYI - where the instructions suggest drilling a small hole: do it! A 1/16 bit is perfect; just take your time and be patient.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the aproximate amount of time needed for this repair?**
A: I couldn't open my roof so getting the headliner off was quite a bit of a project and getting the center ring out takes a little bit of work I would say around 2 hours

**Q: Does this fit a 2004 sl500**
A: Absolutely YES!,   I reeplaced  the ring by myself, you don't have to remove the part, just unlock the metal-rings.
 Inside the cylinder are two rober-washers, reeplace the big one!, (square angles), not the small one,  slide the washer all the way and it will stretch up until gets to the proper position.  
It works perfect!.

**Q: What size is the O ring?**
A: I don’t know the size but it fit perfect for my roof cylinder that is in the middle Of the convertible roof closest to the windshield

**Q: is this kit for one or both top lock cylinders?**
A: The R230 only has one (1) top lock cylinder in the center. Where the roof meets the windscreen.
