Title: Californiamodel. Rubbergasket between Body and hardtop
Post by: DAN112970 on August 03, 2016, 17:10:40

Helle from Denmark.
Do anybody of you know something about the rubbergasket on the body of a Californiamodel to seal the space between the body and the hardtop??
It must be a special profile?? Do you know, where I can find such a rubberprofile?? Can you send me some pictures. My mailadress is hans@hmml.dk
Thank you very much.

Hans

Thats the problem. I need this gasket, but I have no idea where I can find this gasket. Mercedes in Denmark did not know anything about this special gasket for the Californiamodels. I have found a picture from another Californiamodel

The seal in that area is the same between coupes and roadsters. The small notch for where the soft top lock would be is also there. The difference being there is no horseshoe cover sandwiched between. That body channel and opening remains the same for both.
