We offer a seal kit / repair kit for the top hydraulic cylinder A2088000072 / 2088000072 / 208 800 0072 (top drive cylinder) used in Mercedes CLK W208 models.
The issue: A lot of Mercedes convertible owners are aware of the well known problem: After a while the hydraulic cylinders responsible for opening and closing the soft top start leaking and do not work properly anymore. The leak occurs when the installed o-rings, rod seals and piston seals wear out to a point that they are not able to withstand the pressure inside the hydraulic cylinder anymore. This is especially noticeable during the summer in warmer regions since the original materials are limited in terms of temperature resistance.
What others offer: Most competitors source cheap Polyurethane rod seals (usually green or blue) from China, most of which are of lower quality than the original rod seals which were already limited in terms of service life and heat resistance.
Our solution: We wanted more than just a simple and cheap replacement but a solution that incorporated unparalleled longevity and durability. Therefore we developed rod seals and piston seals made from high-tech materials: The inner elastomers of the rod and piston seals that provide the necessary contact pressure and all o-rings are made out of heat and wear resistant FPM/FKM (Fluoroelastomer, comparable to Viton®). The flat seals are made out of PTFE that contains special additives to increase its compressive strength, wear resistance and dimensional stability. Both materials have an excellent temperature resistance (from -20°C/-4°F to +204°C/+400°F) and are therefore also suited for vehicles in warmer regions. The rod seals and piston seals are CNC-milled to our specifications within tolerance class DIN ISO 2768-1-f (fine) in Germany to ensure a high level of accuracy.
Seal types: A Mercedes CLK W208 hydraulic cylinder contains two rod seals (consisting of two o-rings and two flat seals) and a two-piece piston seal. If the hydraulic cylinder is leaking, you'll need to replace the rod seals. If the hydraulic cylinder is not able to open and close the soft top properly anymore, you'll need to replace the piston seal.
Attention: The provided seals may only be used with the following types of hydraulic fluid to ensure smooth operation and a long service life:
- Genuine Mercedes Benz hydraulic fluid MB 343.0, hydraulic fluids in accordance with standard DIN 51 524, HLP 32 or standard ISO 11158, HM 32
Attention: The seal kits are referenced with the part number of the original hydraulic cylinder. Please make sure these match before you purchase a seal kit.
