Thank you for the video Oscar! I'm not a sponsor of this site but mjprodukte.com has the exact seals that will fit sized to OEM. I recently bought some seals from them with excellent results. I spent hours searching online on multiple forums and you have Top Hydraulics flooding posts with their expensive services like they're the only ones who can fix soft top parts. This isn't rocket science, most DIYers should have no problem.
cuckovich I used O ring P/N: www.amazon.com/ORING-16-DANCO-MfrPartNo-35750W/dp/B0044FSX1U Till this day mine is still working fine however I'm sure you don't need the O rings if you already have the seals you can just double up on the seals. Let me know how you do
Thanks for the quick reply! I understand that the O rings usually aren't the problem and that it's usually the rod seals (u cup). I haven't taken mine apart yet so I don't know which cylinders are bad. I was hoping that the u cups you used would also work in some of the other cylinders. I think all the ones you can rebuild use them.
cuckovich On my car I found that there are 2 different size Latch Cylinders. I also repaired another Cylinder for which I did not do a video for. But that one I repaired with 2 simple O rings they cost me about $1 but again these were a different size than the one in this video. All you really need to do is to remove the original seal and match it up with a ordinary rubber O ring and I would use 2 O rings in place of the factory seal just to be safe. If youre able to locate the U channel seal it's better but probably a lot of work. Let me know if you need more help

Hey brother where did you got the seals from?
Dude, I've been searching the internet for hours but can't find that seal. Where did you get it?
Which latch are you working on remember there are 2 sizes
Oscar Jimenez The same one as your video here.
I believe the manufacturer is Parker Inc if for some reason you can't find it call me 323 273 2281
