RUBBER seals/trim for windows and doors
« on: December 27, 2022, 15:37:38 »
I have a 64 230 SL.  I need rubber seals/trim for all of the doors and windows.
Any ideals where to get these items?

I got most from the classic center. Reasonable prices  except the ones that go around the door. The MB price was $500 each.  I opted to get the Uro repros from Autohausaz.com for $40 each

Due to the high price of the OEM, I bought most of it from SLS . I doubt that these are much different. Seals fit well.

Be aware that if you replace the front window seals on the hardtop with aftermarket ones, you may encounter problems rolling up the window.  The OEM channels have fabric embedded that allow the glass to slide up.  Some of the aftermarket ones are just rubber and will bind and snag.  I learned that the hard way.  Seals for the permanent windows should be fine.

Raymond,
Are these the ones you are talking about?
They have material embedded into the rubber. (SLS).
