[R129 SL] Driver's door

[Clifton Richardson]

Hi Adam,
 
I had the same problem, it turned out to be the door strap that is located
between the door hinges and the on the A pillar and the door one side
connects to the inside of the door and the sound is coming from there, It is
not expensive to replace, you will have to remove the door trim in order to
access the bolts that secure it, it should take no more that about 1 hour
for somebody who is competent, the only thing is that the replacement part
is not painted whilst the original part is painted to the same colour as the
car.
 
I hope that this is of some help
 
Regards Cliff
 
London 500SL 1991

When I open the driver's door in my '99 SL, it makes a terrible noise, sort
of a loud pop or something.  The passenger door does not do this.  Are there
hinges worn out?  It's kind of embarrassing.  Anyone have any info?
 
Thanks
Adam
