Mercedes R129 Rear Deck Cover Strut: classictrimparts.com/products/soft-top-rear-deck-cover-strut-oem-r129
Mercedes R129 Antenna Seals: classictrimparts.com/products/upper-grommet-antenna-mast-seal
Learn how to access the rear deck strut and antenna seals on your Mercedes-Benz R129 SL. If your rear deck cover does not stay up, or if it continues to fall down, it's likely that one or both of the struts have gone bad. See how to access the struts for replacement. Also while accessing these struts, it is easy to replace your antenna seals since the trunk carpet is already removed.
If you have any further questions about replacing either of these parts, leave a comment below or contact us for more help.

    Re-installing it can be very problematic. I've done it several times and the technique I now use is to first spray a little WD-40 on the spring. Then align the spring in the mirror with the slot in the base. Keep it level and then deliver a few solid blows at the spring with a medium sized rubber mallet. It takes quite a bit of force to seat it flush. It can be done with your fist but it's much easier and quicker with the mallet, and a lot less stressful.

    • @ClassicTrimParts
      @ClassicTrimParts 2 місяці тому

      It's always nice to hear another method that works for people. It can be tricky reinstalling the mirror. What we did was take a dremel and shave off a tiny bit of metal from one of those two pins on both sides of the spring. Even a little extra space seemed to help. We will have to try your method next time we get the chance.

    • @alonzocalvillo6702
      @alonzocalvillo6702 2 місяці тому

      I ground down the pins on the spring so it wouldn’t be to hard to install. I did this after breaking the console trying to put it in place. It was frustrating because I had just repaired it for the second time.After grinding down the pins I greased them also.

    Hi, so I ran the code on my car WDBFA66E4NF039738 and the interior color came back as Java Yet looking at your web site this color was for the years 1999 2000 and my car is a 1992 and I always though it was palomino and according to your site Palomino was for years 1990 - 1992 which is correct. Weird for sure.

    • @ClassicTrimParts
      @ClassicTrimParts 3 місяці тому

      Hello, that is odd that it says Java. I did look up the VIN myself and I see what you're saying. The color code it gives next to it, however, is 274. If look for 274 in the color code chart at the end of the video it is in fact Palomino. Personally, I trust the color codes more than the names it gives because there were so many different names and colors. The names also vary based on country and year. So it is best to use the number and find the color from the chart.

    Hello, I recently purchased one of your soft top handles for my 98 SL600. It was perfect, thank you! I recently purchased this vehicle and cannot get my center console/arm rest to open. It doesn’t appear to be an issue with the vacuum system since the side button to open locks/unlocks and the front portion comes unlatched when attempting to open. It’s the back half that refuses to release and I’m not sure what could be causing this and I’m afraid to pry it open with force. Do you have any suggestions or experience dealing with this?

      Yes, this is the first step. The vanity mirror light gets the power from wiring through the visor itself. The small rod on the end of the sun visor (that attaches to sun visor clip) has an electrical connection that powers these lights. This sun visor clip has wiring that feeds from the dome light console above the rear view mirror.

    Thank you. I'm struggling with the colour choice for this and various other interior trim parts from your site! Is it cream, cream-beige, creme-beige, light beige, tan, mushroom, parchment or champignon?. According to the VIN, my car interior colour code is Leather-Beige (265) - on an A124 1994-08 E320 UK Delivery.

    • @ClassicTrimParts
      @ClassicTrimParts 2 роки тому

      Mushroom, parchment, beige, tan, and champignon are all the same color. They would be our "Mushroom/Tan" color option. Mercedes had a few different names for just about every color, which makes it confusing. Color code 265 is our mushroom for sure though. Cream beige is what we call "Shell" but it was also called sun yellow. When seen in person, it is not comparable to the mushroom color as it is much brighter. It also was an interior color for the R129, I don't believe there are any A124 models with this color interior.
