Hard Top Lock
« on: June 23, 2008, 19:40:31 »
Can anyone verify that these hard top locks are correct for our cars.

They just don't look right to me.

EBAY Item number: 300236176016

Thanks

These do look right to me - and checking the SLS site, they go for EUR 150 new each (so $450 for a pair ...).

Actually, I'm not sure.  They dont look like the ones from my 280SL hardtop.  There is a raised ridge for one of the screws to the hardtop frame with a small indentation to grab the spring ball on the handle portion.  
Does that make sense?
These look more like from a W107 SL.
