I'm hoping that someone with a 2013+ SL could do me a favor. I'm trying to find out if the dust boots/covers over the struts on the 2013+ are the same or similar to the older R230 (2003-2008) models.

Would someone who owns one, please take a picture of your dust cover or strut boot for me? My front two covers are in very rough shape as you can see and I'm looking for a replacement. Mercedes doesn't make this part for the R230 anymore and Arnott will not sell the boot/cover separately.

I've been told that the 2013+ SL's have the same or very similar designed strut and that the covers might be interchangeable. You can buy the strut boot/covers for the 2013+ SL's but you can't return them if they don't fit since they have to be ordered from Germany.

You might be better off posting this in the R231 SL63/SL65 forum.

How did that damage occur? I'm curious.

I'm guessing Break Rotor heat.

Yes like many others I am frustrated that MB, or anyone else will not sell the part.

My shoo goo and inner tube repair is holding on for now but would love something better.

if the 13+ boot works out please post that here.
