Good find for W124 window gap.

[optimusprime]

Just fitted this seal in the gap from dashboard to the window glass . A lot of items can fall inside and lost for ever . This clever rubber seal fits in the gap . Ebay item number can be provided if any one is intertested . See pictures of finished job it took all of 3 mins to fit no glue it just pushes in the gap .Trim the ends to fit down post .

GLK it finishes off the top of the dash and for £3 its little to pay .

Now the seal in places wont be flat on the edge, the reason is it is wraped up the best it can be . But i left mine on the dining room table over night .Dont know if it helped or not . But it will be fine as you fit it in to the gap .I used the end of round biro to locate it but if its not looking right pull it out and do it again till your happy with it.As you start trim it to fit the down post anngle .

Why has mercedes left a gap? Bad design? or is there a reason? Heat/air? Generally every part of the car has a function, will blocking this gap cause any problems,caution required mebay?

We will see but i would think only fixings for the dashboard.The heater and demister have slots in the top of dash.

There is a bead of mastic that goes round the windscreen when it’s fitted, the bead is maybe 4 or 5 mm thick, that’s what creates the gap. The VIN seems to be in the way so the mastic goes down much lower to avoid the VIN.

Pictured is a W202, W124 is probably similar set up.

Well i wont have to try removing items that get to fall in the gap, along with wasps and bees cash and the like.
