plastic rear window on SL (R129)

[mickl]

can anyone tell me if the window is replaceable seperately?

I have seen hood specialists online that will replace the rear half of the hood only, but I don't think I've seen anyone offering replacements of the window only, given that it is glued and sewn into the back section of the hood.

ah right, I wasn't sure if it was simply zipped on like some soft tops or if it attached permanently. I was going to have a look at an SL, the owner told me there was a couple of splits in the back window hence me asking what the potential cost to fix would be.

Mick,

Couple of URLs for you mate:

http://www.carhood.com/shop_p11.htm

The latter I'm not so sure is still in business though.

HTH,
Greg

Typically a rear window costs £250 to fix - the hood also has to come off of the car.
