hood

Hi All, I am currently in the market for a post face lift W208 clk convertible, and I drove one today for the first time. Anyway to my question, the one I drove today, the hood, was what I would call semi automatic. You had to release the locks manually before engaging the electric...

Ive managed to find a local sail maker who has experiance of replacing split/misted widows in cabriolet hoods. My first thoughts where I was going to have to replace the whole hood but its in pretty good condition and seems a shame to spend all that hard earned if I can get just the windows...

I am not sure if this should be in the bodywork forum but can someone kindly tell me what is the best thing to clean the 'windows' of the hood of a SL please? Are they perspex or vinyl? I want to remove cloudiness and some scratches.

Not the greatest of shots, but as the road to my house is being used as an access road to the Steading that is being converted below us, it is constantly muddy. Believe it or not, these photos were taken after a single trip from the main road to my house with the car having just been cleaned...

Stumbled upon this below on my travels... kinda like it in silver in an Ali G sort of way.... Dont suppose it would stay on the car for long tough before some thieving toerag would pinch it.

The hood does not come down and just the red light is on? anyone know what is wrong?

Hi, Anyone know of a good company where I can order a facelift W124 hood star for a very reasonable price? I'm too busy (OK lazy!!) to go to a dealer or a private retailer, so I need a reputable company online. Cheers Munkee

I've noticed that Brabus do a device that allows the hood (roof) on the R129 SL to be raised or lowered up to 25 mph . I have left the info at work but I will post details & prices later. Sounds a really good idea and I reckon I wil get one asap . Its great if the need arises to raise /...

hi when i try and lower the roof on my CLK w208 with the engine running and in park the hood stops half way... the rear bit lifts and the roof folds about about half way and then the red roof switch flashes and the roof sticks. only way to make it carry on is to switch off the ignition...

2 questions really; around about this time of year, I clean down the paintwork and rewax it, takes nearly a day all in all (using Swissol products - anyone else use these? I'm running out of the shampoo, so not sure whether to stick with Swissol (which I think is fantastic) or to try one of the...
