[R129 SL] Hardtop Maintenance

[John Collins]

I had a similar situation on a 95 I had last year.  It was an Arizona car when I bought it so it was in a lot of heat.  An interior trim repair guy came to my house and after thoroughly cleaning the surfaces he stretched the material with a hair dryer and glued and screwed it back down,
