To remove the hard top from a 1992 Mercedes 500SL, first ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged. Open the trunk and locate the hard top release mechanism, usually consisting of a pair of latches on each side of the windshield. Release these latches, and then, with assistance, carefully lift the hard top straight up and off the vehicle, ensuring to support it securely to avoid damage. Finally, store the hard top in a safe location.
I bought a 1992 300SL and the seats were so hard that I thought something was wrong. So I went to a showroom and sat in the seat of a 1998 500SL, same hard seats. To remedy the problem I had my upholstery specialist take my seats apart and replace the German horsehair/hard rubber fabric with modern foam rubber. The seats are much more comfortable now but not as comfortable as my Volvo. The Volvo also has cup holders, the Mercedes does not, which helps understand the hard seats.
I'm not sure I understand this question. How do you install a MB 500sl soft top? Are you asking how to replace an existing soft top? Are you talking about a European 107 model or a later 129 model MB? The later 500sl's, made until 2002...if you have to ask this question, you won't be able to install, what I presume to be a new, replacement canvas top. You need to go to an upholsterer...you have to buy the top, and then pay for them to install it. This is pretty much an all day event and can cost anywhere from $750.00 to $2,000.00 at the dealers...avoid the dealers...they just send them out to local upholstery shops and mark up the cost. Or, if you just want to take the hard top off, and use the convertible top..remove the hard top and pop up the boot cover. Now, if you''re talking about a 2003 and later 500sl...and you can't find the soft top, that's because there isn't one...all there is back there is a fold down hard top that fits into the trunk.

To replace the alternator on a 1992 Mercedes 190E, first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Then, remove the serpentine belt by loosening the tensioner, followed by disconnecting the electrical connections from the alternator. Remove the mounting bolts securing the alternator to the engine and take out the old alternator. Install the new alternator by reversing the steps: securing it with bolts, reconnecting electrical connections, and reattaching the serpentine belt before reconnecting the battery.
