113 conv. top seals
« on: August 21, 2009, 13:12:20 »
Recently my wife & I installed a new top on our 107 chassis, 280 SL.  We had done the 230 SL a number of years ago.  The 107 has rubber seals that run horizontally above the side windows, glued to the top, over the frame.   I am wondering if the 113 top has the same thing.  The reason I ask is because when I was looking for something else I ran across a pair of new seals that are a little different.  Did we forget to install these years ago when we did the 230 SL?

Dief:
I just looked and my top has these seals glued to the underside of the canvas - looks like it seals against the frame.

Yes, the 113 should also have these rubber seals. Part number 113 778 00 97, suggested US list $20.00, my price $14.77.
