roof

Although not specifically listed for a convertible, the Saris Superbones 3 bike rack fitted my CLK perfectly. Very sturdy, with built in racket straps and locks. I would definitely recommend it. [/IMG]

So, with all the problems with the radio, it is now narrowed down to the roof amplified antenna. So I have taken it apart, but still connected to the wiring, and here is the problem. If I replace the antenna, do I have to resolder the wires, or does the roof lining need to be removed to access...

Hi, Just got my car out of the garage and started it up and everything g seemed good. As I had it out I decided to put the roof down. When I went to put it up I got a message on the dash "visit workshop" and cannot close it. Interestingly the roll bar does not go up either. I disconnected to...

I just got a bargain of an OE rear roof spoiler for my A200, it is primed so needs to be painted. Haven't decided whether to go with main colour (191 Cosmos Black) or carbon fibre, with a view of doing side mirrors and diffuser in carbon later on. If I go for a standard paint job, how much...

I'd like to have a peak at the underside of the roof just in front of the rear windshield; is it possible to gain access to this area without having to entirely remove the headliner? ie, remove the trim from the rear pillars, and somehow just "peel" the headliner back a bit from the rear?

Does anyone have any tips how to get a shine back on the chrome roof rails. Over the years they have obviously deteriorated with weathering/tree sap/contaminents. Any tips on how to clean up again?

So the connections of the roof controller for an R129 look the same as the A/W124 cabriolet... I'm referring to : 1298202426 compared to 1248204026 I've counted/compared pins and fitment of both units to be the same. Has anybody actually tried to use an R129 controller though with...

I know it must just be me but is there any way you can open the sun roof without opening the sun blind as sometimes it would be nice to have an open roof but a closed sun blind. Thanks in advance and don't be too hard on me!!:thumb:

Hello! I've got a 1993 E320 Coupe and would dearly like to fit a DAB/FM bee-sting antenna to the roof. Without removing the headliner, a bit of a poke with my finger suggests I could either mount it to the rear of the interior light, or - maybe! - just in front of it, which I would prefer. But...

I see on here posts about which lubricant to use when servicing the sunroof mechanism, but no posts on how to actually do the service. I would like to do mine (C class W203) as my garage owning mate seems to recall that parts are not available and the whole sunroof has to be purchased as a...

Late last year I bought my R129 - a nice clean 74000 mile 1992-registered 500SL - which is about to receive a stem-to-stern refresh - fluids, filters, bushes, shocks, steering, mounts, HT system, the lot. My roof is in good working order but I know I need to flush and replace my hydraulic...
