W123 coupe window seal rubber

[Calvinius]

The window rubber at the bottom of the front window screen has perished and is leaking...

Is there somewhere I can purchase a replacement???
Has anybody on here from the uk, had this job done and can reccommend someone??

Thanks

Its a dealer only part now... and not cheap from memory.

Nightmare part unfortunately. I had the same with my w126, dealer only part. Rang the main dealer who does the classic parts, Mercedes discontinued it a few years back.
Scrap dealers not interested as not high value and even if they would it's probably as bad as the old one.
Was going to post it to a specialist rubber place who do universal rubber to match something up when I hit absolute luck from a wanted advert I placed where a guy had a brand new old one sitting for a few years he was happy to take £20 for.

If you have no luck with the dealer try mark cosovich and if not google windscreen rubber and there's guys in Will match it up if you post the old one or email a pic and exact dimensions.

Dam! Doesn't sound good situation!

I guess nobody knows of anybody who's breaking w123's that I might nick a second hand one off??
