Help on moulding around the windshield for 250SL
« on: January 27, 2011, 11:06:06 »
I have a 1969 250SL which I'm trying to restore.  I noticed on other SLs that there is a leather covered moulding around the windsheild (Left & right pillars and on the top) which I don't have on mine.  Is this a standard part that can fit on all SLs or is there one that specifically fits my 250SL?  Thanks for any help that anyone can give

There are early 250 SLs with 230 SL cosmetics and later 250 SLs with 280 SL cosmetics.  You may have an early one and there are no 1969 250 SLs.

Thanks for the info.  You're right, its a 1967 model.  From some of the pics that i've seen so far, it seems like the cosmetics are from a 230 since the front column pads seem a little thinner.  Thanks again
