If you intend to use Cabriolet Hydraulics hose repair couplers to reconnect the front latch cylinder, do not cut the hoses until you confirm that the hose diameter is 4.5mm (.177”).
These hydraulic cylinders have shown up on the market recently; they are not Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). These aftermarket cylinders can be identified by the characteristics shown in the image on the right. Due to their larger hose diameter, our hose couplers will not fit these non-OEM cylinders.
