How do you replace electric antenne in 1994 Mercedes 500sl?

First remove the lock cap on the base of the antenna. It may require a pair of pliers. It is chrome. Once that is removed. Remove the black rubber trim cap. Work it left and right, it will slide off. Once that is done, open the trunk and remove the push pins in the driver side trim panel against the quarter panel. Remove the brake light assembly, this has a spring clip and hinges. Once the push pins are removed, bend the carpet panel back out of the way. There are 2 screws holding the assembly. One is a large Philips that mounts the assembly, the other is a small Philips, it is for the ground. Pull the assembly downward. As you pull down be gentle, there us a metal guide assmbly that has a spring that holds it tight to the xterior lock nut. It took me about 15 minutes to change the antenna. Farily simple to repair if the mast is drive is broken,

How do you replace the trunk seal on a 560SL?

Trunk seal on an SL MB model 107.

go buy a new trunk seal at your local MB dealer or parts house...also get a tube of 3M glue. Line the trunk with newspaper or a tarp, it's going to get messy. Pull out the old seal...clean off everything but the paint...make the surface nice and clean. Without the 3M, lay the new seal down...make sure your seal is aligned properly and fits correctly...once you have it lined up correctly...break out the 3M....you won''t need a lot...a little will work fine...make it even and consistent....about 8"-12" at a time and slowly glue the seal down....go around the entire seal 2 or 3 times and make sure you have it adhered all around, and immediately wipe up any glue runs before it sets....I replaced mine this way, and when I was sure the seal was properly glued into place, I closed the hood and left it down for a couple of hours. that's it.




Front brake pads on a 560sl.....Buy a set of brake pads....don't get metalic...it will squeal like a pig farm and wear out the rotors twice as fast....get 4 brake wear sensors, a small tube of brake lube, and a can of brake cleaner, you'll need a hammer, a pair of pliers, a 1/4" punch, and some emery cloth...a paint brush.


Pull off the tires....remove the holding pins (2) from the caliper, using the hammer and 1/4" punch.....manipulate the brake pad spring....you might have to remove one of the pad sensors to do this. Depending on the wear of the pads, you might have to push the pads towards the caliper's pistons....using a flat blade screwdriver and avoid scarring the rotors. Slide the old brake pads up and out of the caliper. You'll probably have to use a lever of some sorts to push the pistons back into the calipers to allow room for the thicker, new pads.
Use the brake cleaner and brush to clean all the inside surfaces, and the small brake parts you just removed....clean everything.....lightly buff the disks with the emery cloth...take the shine off the disks....use the same emery cloth to lightly scuff the new brake pads....don't let any oil on the pads....take the brake lube and lightly coat the brake pins and very lightly, the back of the brake pads....very lightly.
Now...put it all back together....and remember...brake in these new pads....it takes about 40-50 miles to seat them in properly....test the brakes by driving down the street, apply the brakes, and make sure the car stops straight...if it turns sharply in either direction, you might have to re-clean the rotors or check the pistons in the calipers to make sure they're not stuck....


DOME LIGHT sl500 they pry out, using a small flat blade screwdriver....the entire clear lens unit pops out, and you replace the bayonet bulb.....that's it.




95 SL TOP REPLACEMENT


Personally, I would go to an upholstery shop for this....even the pros have problems installing these things...they have to be lined up perfectly....you need experience here....the tops themselves are expensive...and you don't want to mess it up....you also have to deal with the inside liner, which you have to take off first, and put back on.....there's also a lot of mechanical stuff you need to remove from the front...this job usually takes a pro team....2 or 3 guys...4-6 hours from start to finish. Also, with winter coming up....if you're planning on putting the hard top on for the winter....wait until spring....it doesn't make a lot of sense to install a new convertible top, just to store it.


I hope these answers help....DM

I am unaware of the SL, a 107 chassis car in that year, being available with a 250 motor anyplace. The 8 cyl 350 was the smallest avail in US. The 280 motor was avail in Europe and sometimes grey marketed here. They are not very desired and even a nice one is maybe 5K.
