91 560 SEC headliner expert advice needed!!

Removed the headliner from my 560SEC long ago to get it recovered. Now trying to reinstall and its been so long I forgot what was on the left and right side of the sunroof inside edges. Looks like some sort of old dried double side tape that wraps up toward top side. Which leads me to the second question. There are 2 shiny chrome slats that I remembered going in that space as a kind of smooth buffer for sunroof headliner. I marked the left and right, but not sure where/how they are... 91 560 SEC headliner expert advice needed!!

Help Windshield Wiper Studs Seized?

Windshield Replacement guy said that the wipers are seized onto the studs and they aren't allowed to take it off. He advised me to have someone else take it off then he can replace the windshield. Any idea what he's talking about? Thank You!

What are the wheel bolt dimensions for a 380 SL (1983)

I am planning to purchase a set of wheel lock nuts for my 380 SL (1983). When searching the internet I am getting so many different thread lengths. At the moment I tried US UK and German sites. No leads. If anyone has good source in Europe that would be a bonus. Thank you!

Soft Top Not Fully Opening - 2017 C43

Hello all, So here is the issue for my 2017 C43. When I try to open the soft top, the operation goes smoothly except, at the final step, the storage compartment cover doesn't latch. Note that, in the case of closing, the storage compartment cover latches successfully. So this issue is only present during opening when the soft top is inside the storage compartment. I suspect it could be a limit switch issue, a signal is not being sent to lock the storage compartment cover in place although... Soft Top Not Fully Opening - 2017 C43
