Headlight Gasket
« on: November 09, 2008, 12:57:28 »
Is there a headlight (US Version) gasket on the underside of the chome bezel?  I don't have one on my car, but this would seem to be a likely place for one.

There is not one on my car either, an early 250 SL.

I've got a 230SL parts manual.  It shows a rubber gasket between the chrome and body on the European version but not on the American one.  It seems strange that they would have made a gasket for one and not the other.

I'm guessing the difference between US and Euro is because the US cars are sealed beam lights?
