roof

Hi All, With the weather getting better I'm keen to be taking the roof down more often. On the whole the roof has been working really well both going up and down. Recently though at the final stage of putting the roof down the tonneau cover struggles to close more often than not, from time...

First need to post here after 5 years of largely trouble free driving of my 1999 R129 SL320. Anyway here is the problem: With the roof down I raised the rollbar to remove the wind deflector. The rollbar would not retract. Tried the hold button down to reset but to no avail. Tried to raise the...

Hi, Having read cole@MBS about convertible roofs, being done manually, in his instructions he states that you need two straps to do this operation, found with the tools in the boot, alas i do not have any, what is the proper name for these straps and where can you buy them, i hope i done't need...

My roof has stopped closing. Opens fine using the switch on the console. But when you try to close it nothing happens. The switch lights up to open the roof but doesn't light up the you try to close it. I can close it manually so am not stuck. Could it be a switch or a relay problem? The...

Bought myself a glasses holder, that installs in place of a driver's grab handle. Unfortunately, the mounting clips are different for the W204 and W169: So it is now for sale. New, grey, with nice soft rubber lining. Might fit other models, but is for W204. This is an aftermarket...

Hi All, Anyone tell me the correct grease/lubricant to use on the rails of my pan roof please? Thanks

My poor old R129 has been a bit left out recently, what with my recent purchase of a CLS500 and then further purchase of a Porsche 997. Having served me well over the summer (where it was lavished with a full engine and gearbox service, along with new front latch hydraulic seals), it hasn't been...

New here so hope this is in the right place if not I'm sorry. The roof on my clk doesn't seem to be working correctly. I unlatch from the front and pull the button up it unlatches the rear part of roof and lifts it up. Then the problem arises. When it comes to working the rear deck ( don't...

Mercedes S124 Estate Roof Bars in good condition, £25 + P&P

Is this even possible? I bought what was supposed to be a model-specific roof aerial, as some lowlife pinched mine off the car over Christmas ... It looks quite nice: but the thread is M5, and apparently my antenna base is M6, so I need something like this: I have a strong...

Hi mates, I have 15 plate B-Class W246 and I am after roof rack in order to put a box on them. There are plenty of them ,starting from 50-ish something up to 350-ish. I don`t want to pay for the most expensive ones,but I don`t want to buy a piece of junk either. Any help is much...

I'm after a cheap set of roof bars for occasional use. One place seems to suggest there is more than one type of roof bar (longitudinal ones on the car not the horiz ones I'm buying) fitted to cars of this era and are listed as "NOT SUITABLE FOR SOLID ROOF BARS WITHOUT GAPS" Anyone shed any...

Some lowlife has snapped a roof aerial off my car over the Christmas break period. These people really do get into the whole peace and goodwill set of mind, don't they. The car originally had a "fishing rod" aerial as was fitted to the pre-facelift W169, I replaced it with a facelift...

I have recently purchased a C Class estate 2001 model and must say other than a few small issues that the guys on this forum are slowly helping me sort out I am super happy with the car. However the previous owner was not so careful during polishing hence I have a number of white stains on the...

I am looking at changing my internal Ceiling lights to LED's. Has anyone got a clue were to start.ie were to get the bulbs and how to fit them. original lights seem a little dim after 6 years. Thanks in advance :doh:

I am wanting to source a "top half" car cover for my CLK to protect the soft top during severe weather. Can anyone please recommend such a cover which will do the job and is reasonably easy to remove when required. Additionally is there a recommended supplier for a FULL cover which is a...

All, Firstly, apologies that this is going to be a bit of a long one – there’s a fair bit of background to go through alas. I have put postings up earlier this year with regards to problems with the roof mechanism on my 1995 SL500. I decided to bite the bullet and took it to an MB...

Complete with locks etc. Happy with £75 - collection from Preston (J31a M6)

Hi folks W212 2010 E250 CDI Anyone help with how the left & right mouldings (A2126902882 & A2126902982) for the Panoramic Roof are removed? Looks like there may be a clip at the front and it may just pop on but I don't want to start pulling things. Can't see any securing clips or bolts...

Hi, I am looking for the name of the plastic box part that you move in the boot to put the convertible roof up and down. :dk:
