Bob,
It is difficult to tell, your photo does not show the profile clearly.  If I am correct, but I might be thinking of the 190SL, there are splash plates inside the front fenders and I think the rubbers belong there.
Regards
Chris

I can't tell from the photo either, but if it is the seal around the partition panel (fender well splash shield) its profile should look like the one in the sketch.

Hi,

Allthough it's not easy to see the rubber profile on the pictures, think I recognize them.

They are to be glued to the underside of the softtop above the door windows, one on each side.  They protect the ST fabric where the steel wire is inserted.

Those do look like the soft top fabric seals between the frame and fabric above the driver and passenger side doors

Here are a few shots of the seal between the window frame and soft top (and obviously yet to be installed on my car.....)
They are ~51.5 cm long.

YES, YES, YES ( I sound like Meg Ryan from the movie When Harry Met Sally)  That is them... thank you it was driving me crazy, I put them in carpet bin instead of convertible top bin... would have been looking for them soon.

They may be a nightmare to glue, actually... Make sure you point the right end towards the front, I think it may be counterintuitive...
