[R129 SL] HardtopPanoramic Glass Roof

[Carsten Günther]

Hi List,

in fact, every hardtop has to be "aligned" to the relevant car. i have 
both the normal hardtop and a panoramic-hardtop. no problem so far.

i had a second glas roof, which fits perfectly to a fried to which this 
one was sold.

see: 
http://www.classic-roadster.de/modules/gallery/r129-panoramadach-ansichten?&page=2

the only thing is, that the "dichtungen" (sorry, dont know the right 
word) for pre 96-cars had to be changed on the glass-hardtop, will cost 
about 800 USD.

best regards
c.
