Pagoda Hard Top
« on: August 21, 2014, 12:46:02 »
Hi

We have a June 1969 280SL.

Can anyone please help / confirm if a Pagoda Hard Top from a 1968 250SL would fit this?

Many thanks in advance!

Yes.   The differences as best as I understand it are as follows:

Leather trim vs. imitation leather trim
heated rear window vs. non heated rear window
style of front latches

From what I can see in EPC all hardtops fit all pagodas, the part numbers are different based on early/late latches and leather/vinyl trim.  So my conclusion is that all hardtops fit all cars, as the change to the front latches has to do with removable handles vs. non-removable handles.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

One more thing, the colour of the vinyl in the headliner.
230SL/250SL came from the factory with one of two available shades, 280SL came with one of three.
These shades were determined by the code for the interior (i.e. not an active choice for the buyer to make) and the colours are light (cream, light tan etc)
