A dealer or AutohausAZ should be able to get one for you. I have no idea about the degree of difficulty...yet...the seal on the same lid on my 560SL is getting a little ratty-looking. No water problems, though. I make every effort not to expose the car to rain or heavy washing.

thanks

thanks for the reply but i figured out that the one side of the softy top had come loose and that allowed the water to drip on that area and leak into the trunk. getting it fixed Monday

. the trim expert said about $80 so not to bad.

Most welcome. I find something that works - I spread the word.

Thanks for being a board sponsor!! I'm finally getting around to replacing the crank sensor I ordered from you folks early this year. THEN I'm saving my spare change for the AC clutch and/or compressor the car needs.
