R129 soft top replacement

[rusty55]

Just had rear roof section readjusted after replacement in March by Swautotrimmers now looking spot on very pleased.
The roof has been operated now 34 times over the recent road trip .
Now hoping for a good summer next trip to South sea Monday

Just out of interest how much does it cost to replace a soft top ?

KHM in Stuttgart charge just under €900 for one in the original material ; they list the headlining separately . They will either mail order it or offer a fitting service if you take the car over .

Thank you very much for your answer. It might be fun to try out fitting myself.

Ives looked at the site but but factoring in time it would. Take against a day at a workshop it was easier to do extra hours so I waited eight months pleased I did
