Mercedes SL Soft Top Adjustment
Mercedes SL Soft Top Adjustment: The SL is, first and foremost, an open car. Therefore, effective operation of both the hard and soft top are crucial to maintaining this key appeal. So we designed this service to comprehensively inspect the hard and soft top mechanism of your car. Ultimately, this ensures that it operates exactly as it should.
Why do I need it?
Obviously, the hard and soft top of your SL are superbly designed. But a stretched cable or broken latch can ruin a dry sunny day. Firstly, your soft top should seal correctly to the windscreen and decklid. At the same time, all levers should work without being stiff or difficult to use. Over time, poor maintenance can make your soft top a misery. But it doesn’t need to be this way. Note that the same levers that release the soft top also secure the hard top. Anyone who’s experience a stuck hard top will know that it takes three people to fix it.
What does it do for the car?
We’ll check and service the operating mechanism for both your hard and soft tops. In addition, we’ll check and service all the relevant levers and cables. As a result, you’ll get a roof that works exactly as it should.
What does it do for me?
Truly, is there anything more frustrating than climbing in your car on the first day of the season only to find that you can’t lower the soft top? Or that the hard top is stuck fast and won’t be persuaded to come off? Of course, a correctly-functioning roof mechanism is one less thing to worry about. Now, you can concentrate on where to go with the roof down, rather than how to get it down!
Why Choose SLSHOP?
At SLSHOP, we understand that the most important aspect of SL ownership is how it makes you feel with the roof down. Undoubtedly, the roof mechanism of an R107 is superbly designed, sturdy and strong. But it requires good maintenance and occasional adjustment to work properly. We know these cars inside out. Therefore, we know exactly what to do to ensure trouble-free operation of your roof.
