soft

Hi, I have a 1999 CLK cabriolet that has a mouldy soft top, can anybody advise what product would be best to buy to inhibit the mildew. Thanks, Dancoll.

Everything else works a treat but after the wife used the button i.e. not the remote to open the boot the soft close has stopped! It does not have full closer, i.e. click the remote and the boot springs open but you have to manual close it but then soft close grabs and pulls it down. When I say...

Hi Can anyone tell me what the correct type of brush to use to clean a soft top on a car? I am using the Mercedes soft top cleaning product, but I want to ensure that the brush that I use wont damage the material of the roof, but will be able to shift the green stuff that has formed as a...

Hi I have just had my soft top replaced with a new black top instead of the green top that originally was on the car which my wife and I did not like. Coming back from Poole I noticed it was much quieter, not so much wind noise which you come to expect from a convertible. See pictures of...

Juts had a new caliper fitted to replace a ceased one and the pepal is slighty soft, the dealer says the bleed it through and they do work but dont seem as 'instant' as they should be. Noticable when manovering at low speed as there seems to be nothing for a moment. Ideas other than ' you've...

Should my 300TE have the self-closing catch on the tailgate? Were they standard fit? Mine just seems to be a normal slam-to-close catch, and there's no evidence of electric motors kicking in.

Hi, I have a sl r129, when the soft top is down is there anything available that you can place into the holes in the bodywork when the hard top is removed, ie, grommet's or some sort of covers, it looks a bit naff with the holes showing. That is if we get any weather to warrant the soft top...

Hi. I am looking for the soft top compartment cover lid. Anyone?

Hi all, looks like the pump has a fluid leak and wondering if anybody knows any hydraulic people who might be able to sort it out. I've found a company in the States who can fix it but just seeing if anyone knows of a company in the UK who could help. Not doing dealer prices! Maybe ebay but then...

Hi all, anybody know if the soft top relay on the CLK is the same as the fuel pump relay? Hood won't go down and the fluid is low so going to top it up and change relay at the same time and hope it works. Not had a chance yet to check for leaks. As usual open front of hood up, windows go down...

My W124 Cabriolet on the whole is in great shape, so much so that little rattles and squeaks are very noticeable in what is quite a quiet cabin for a soft top. There are a couple of annoying squeaks and rattles that chirp up on uneven roads and potholes which I attempted to deal with using...
