Soft Top Liner??
« on: October 25, 2018, 22:18:44 »
Did the 250SL soft top, or any Pagoda for that matter, ever have a liner?  And....if anyone says yes, are they available now?  Never have see such, but I knew if there was, this group would know!

The 113 car soft tops did not have a liner, in the sense of the 111/112 cabriolets. They have a tan under finish, but not a separate liner.

Thanks Johnny B.  I had never seen one with a liner....too bad.

Any effort to install a liner, even a thin one, would be a disaster. The top barely folds away without bunching up as it is.

It's one of the only things I don't like about the cabs; that great big top sticking up in the way of seeing anything behind you.
