Soft top creasing issue and London specialist?
« on: June 28, 2016, 15:23:59 »
Hi there

Just bought a RHD 1965 230SL and have a couple of questions.

What is the best way of sorting the creases where the hood meets the car body?  (see image)

Can anyone recommend a good but reasonably priced garage in London UK to work on my pagoda?

Thanks!

Welcome - that crease is from not tucking the corners under when folding down the top. It's very easy to fix, a short time 'tucked under' and the corners will lie nice and flat. This issue is well documented on the site, just do a search or ask us for details.
