btw my car is euro spec 1980 500 SE

 

sometimes if you buy 1 peice of the trim new it costs more than if you buy the whole set. may not be true in your situation.

 

I have a 1985 500SEC and was wondering where you can purchase a full set of wood trim pieces?

Thanks.

 

I've seen complete 126 wood kits on ebay, and individual pieces, however that one does look different, how do you roll down the rear windows from the drivers seat? Or does that roll down both at the same time lol ?

 

the back windows are manual, you do it by hand. I guess they wanted to give the car a sporty feel by making front windows only power and back manual ? beats me

 

Hey Cuys,
The cost per piece will average$265.00 per piece. If you purchase used off ebay the grain and color will be different. Not to mention your buying 13-20 year old wood parts.
Try Heritage wood works, the owner is Drew Tibcken. He can repair and make your panels look better than new at a great savings. The shop that I worked at, we restored the wood and interior on an 85 SEL and it cost the client in the range of $800 for the complete restoration of the wood( all 10 pieces).
Drews toll# is 888-255-3523, check the web for Heritage Wooworks.

I'd buy new before I went to drew....Sent him some 560 wood of mine, first time it came back it was horrible. Bubbles and dirt in the clear, could still see the cracks in the veneer. Sent it back, came back w/ even more bubble and grit and obvious streaks where the stain was applied. Oh, and one of the trans console bits I sent is now unuseable as he re applied the plastic backing in such a way that none of the window switches will work (they stick against the wood).

You might try madera concepts out on the west coast.
