URO 230-800-09-72 Convertible Top Hydraulic Cylinder Locking Tubular Frame with Lines

The URO Parts 230-800-09-72 is a replacement convertible top hydraulic cylinder designed for the Mercedes-Benz R230 SL-Class Vario Roof system. This cylinder serves as the left-side trunk frame locking cylinder, a critical component in the retractable hardtop mechanism responsible for securely latching and releasing the convertible top's tubular frame during operation.

The hydraulic cylinder integrates directly into the convertible top's locking system, providing the force necessary to engage and disengage the roof's locking tubular frame. A properly functioning cylinder ensures smooth, reliable operation every time the top is raised or lowered.

Key Features:

• Direct-fit replacement for OEM part number 2308000972
• Includes hydraulic lines to pump for complete, ready-to-install assembly
• Designed for the left-side locking tubular frame position on the R230 platform
• Manufactured to replace worn or leaking original hydraulic cylinders
• Compatible with SL-Class models including SL500, SL550, SL55 AMG, SL600, SL63 AMG, and SL65 AMG
