W205 Soft top repair kit

[DerekP]

I've replaced one of the soft top headliner cords on my 2018 convertible. Cord number 7 (blue) had frayed. Fiddly job but doable.

I've got the remainder of the kit plus fabric tape and instructions from MB if anybody needs it (minus one cord).

I priced this job and the cost was eye watering. Pm me if your interested

Many thanks Derek really useful information I’ll look into this.
Kind regards Mike

I'd keep the kit if I were you, in case any of the other cables start to fray in the future..

Kits is £45 direct from Mercedes. Just done this repair on our 2018 E220 cab.

Feeding the chords through the plastic channels is a pain in the *** but saved me £££

Can you add the kit part number to the thread if you get the chance . Although is it the same as the part numbers at the top (1st post) .
Good job buddy !

[paulbw]

how do you stop the roof automatically closing whilst doing the repair?

plenty of youtube videos show you how to do it.
