hard top seals

[demetrios]

So the hard top has been in my garage for the last 3months but looks like winter might be coming back early.
When I had the hard top on and it rained hard there was water coming into cabin from top right near where it joins the windscreen.
It must be the hard top as doesn't happen with soft top on.
How hard is it to replace seals and roughly what the cost is?
I'm not knowledgeable with these things so need help.

Oh and it's a 1992 500 sl
Thank you

I wonder whether your hard top is original or whether it is from a later car (that has different seals).

It might be worth investigating this as well as treating your seals with something like Gummi Pflege before spending money on replacement seals.

I've also used that and it works really well.

Can actually see where the seal is damaged on the corner.
When I pull off hard or go over bumps with hard top on the "bat alarm" beeps and flashes. So maybe it is a different roof and doesn't fit or is that more of sensor issue
