Mercedes Convertible Top Cylinder - Genuine Mercedes 2088000272

Product Information

A convertible top hydraulic cylinder is a key component in a power-operated convertible roof system, responsible for raising and lowering the top. Powered by hydraulic fluid pressure from the pump, the cylinder extends or retracts to move the roof frame smoothly and evenly. Reliable hydraulic cylinders ensure consistent top operation, weather sealing, and ease of use for the driver and passengers.

• Slow or uneven movement of the convertible top when opening or closing.
• Hydraulic fluid leaks visible around the cylinder or inside the cabin/trunk.
• Complete top failure, where the roof will not move due to loss of hydraulic pressure.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
