[R129 SL] soft top issue & Flyinf Dutchman...

[Jan Kuylaars]

Yeah, your right, and I have suggestions:
There are 2 possibilities, depending on how far it comes up.
1= there is not enough oil anymore in the tank , laying in trunk under
the spare wheel. Fill up with oil.
2= there is a false micro switch in the trunk

First off, sounds like Flying Dutchman got the better part of the deal
in getting to keep the car. 
Any partner that makes you choose between a car and themselves obviously
is looking for a reason to hit the road anyway.  Just my 2 cents here in
West Hills, CA...
 
The soft top on my lovely 91 500SL seems to go up, half-way, then stops.
I was able to manually close it, but do miss the open-top driving.  Any
suggestions?

Subject: [R129 SL] Lubrication points for soft top

Guys -

The soft top on my 2000 SL500 squeals when being raised but it is quiet
when being dropped. About half way up it jerks and squeals on the
passenger side. I bought some while grease, can anyone suggest
lubrication points?

Thanks,

Mark D.
