[W126 Coupe] Euro Auto Festival

[brucegorsak at netscape.net]

Anyone attending EuroAutoFestival this year, over 500 vehicles last year ... all European!? We won our class and took a Corporate award last year with our 280.? Going to bring the 380 this year.? I highly recommend the awards banquet on Saturday night and the rally Sunday morning...lots of fun and great cars.

Just had a car wash and my 1985 SEC started to drip water in along the upper 
part of my drivers side window.
Does anyone know if clear silicon (from tube) can be run along the outside of 
the window frame or is there
a better solution since rainy season is coming up.

Thanks,
Robert

I would think replacing the seal would be in order, no?

Hi Robert, 

 Could be that the rubber seal needs replacing like Jonathan says, or it could 
be that the seals have just hardened a bit with age. I had the rubber seals 
harden on my 91 560 SEC, but before I went to the trouble of replacing them 
(which can be quite costly) I thought I would try some kind of rubber restorer. 
I bought myself a Gummi Pflege Stift Rubber Care Stick on Ebay, looks a bit like 
a shoe cleaner. I gave it a try and I was amazed. It brought all my rubber seals 
like new again. I can't remember the price, but it was cheap. I would give it a 
try first if your seals are not actually broken and just hardened a little. 
Good luck.

Vance
