Can this be used in 1998 Mercedes SL500 hydraulic system for convertible roof?

I haven't tried this application; I have a 300SL that just "blew" and I bought the replacement parts on Ebay for a decent price...this stuff works great with "minor" but potentially expensive leaks; give it a try if yours hasn't completely blown out, I used it on a Saab convertible top mechanism, and it saved me big bucks. Good luck!

I don't work for Lucas, just a user myself of the product and was really impressed after using it so I shared my thoughts that you read and know nothing about old Mercedes vehicles, but read the bottle it does say for HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS. if I was guessing I would say yes, but use common sense when using anything. I used it in the Hydraulic Levelers (JACKS IF YOU WILL) on a 2001 Bounder Motorhome and it fixed my problem almost ASAP.... Hope I helped a bit, Good Luck.

It should be able to be used in any systems that use a straight hydraulic or universal hydraulic oil. It does increase the viscosity which helps if pumps or seals are a little worn, but will not help major defects. Also be careful what percentage is used, especially if used in very cold weather - it can cause systems to be over pressurized. 5-10% should be OK. 10-20% use caution when cold.

I'm not sure about how it works on convertible tops Griots could help you if you ask

I would call the manufacturer but I have not had any problems with using it with the liquid roof repair.

I don't see why it wouldn't work on a metal roof...Just make sure you never cross the wire over itself. I would run it all the way down the downspout...Check the installation instructions that come with it.

I don't see why not, but to be certain call the manufacturer technical support. Hope this helped p.s. absolutely love this tubular system.

No it will not for a convertible controls are different because you have the back Windows that go up and down. Standard mustang does not have that hope this helps you

It should I use it with a 2013 Mercedes E 350. And it is not model specific. As Lind as the hose fits into dip stick tube it will work. The hose is made to fit in several different size tubes.

Yes, it's perfect for that application. I use it on the plastic window on my convertible BMW. Works like a champ. However, Plexus has gotten so expensive I've stopped buying it.Haven't found anything I like as much but there are a couple that are pretty good. And considering the price is three time less than Plexus it's an easy decision not to buy Plexus.

I don't see a problem with that. SUPs are pretty light. The pricy ones even more so. Its the 11' that's the issue on that car. The roof line isn't very long. If there is an anchor point on the nose for an ankle leash it might be a good idea to use that to keep from lifting due to wind while driving. I would want to hold the nose down some how no matter how I put it on that roof.

As long as you have a removable head unit. My s40 has the waterfall unit. It would've worked but I would've had to Butcher the dash and modify the whole thing..

Look on the existing lift support. It will have a unique part number that can be cross referenced

Yes it will. I have it holding my hardtop for my 2002 SL500 silver arrowThis was the best deal on the market, easy to assemble and well made.

Oh yes, it is a universal thing, has 3m on it so just press it gently on the roof. All wiring is there just connect it on the car battery. Done

I would assume it would work very well. I have used it on a BMW and Jag F-type convertible top and it worked better than Topps!

Yes it would work but wouldnt recommend if you're Very carful mot to hit roof or you will have a leak . I would buy a couple 40lb bags of water softener pelets and let salt do the work instead .

If it's a rubber roof you might want to check with the "Liquid Roof" folks before you try it. I had to use the primer on mine because of the rubber roof manufacture. Ours is on a Fleetwood coach.

On "all" it's hard to say. I am a master certified Mercedes Benz technician and I have been working on them for 12 years. I use this kit for anything I've ever needed to check. You may have to get a little creative for it to work but I haven't ever had one that I couldn't use this on. On a side note, they do have Schrader valves in some of the fittings to prevent leak down but if you have to hook a few together to make work then removing the valves may be required. Also it won't work on Benz diesel after the high pressure pump but will work for the low pressure feed from the tank. Cannot answer as to the bmw side but would imagine it would work well.
