[W126 Coupe] looking for rubber weatherstripping

[Thomas Oelsner]

Thanks Dick. I don't have the car so I am having trouble visualizing the rear window piece. Question: Does replacing the rear window seals involve removing the chrome trim that wraps around the entire door/rear window assembly?

  Hi Tom,

  The outer (wiper) window door seal is available at MB dealer and not too pricey (maybe $20 each).  The rear window is a one piece inner and outer assembly that wraps under the chrome door jam  and is very expensive ($100++).  

  I chose to buy 4 door seals, installing two as prescribed for each of the doors and using the other two cut with tin snips then cut edge dipped in liquid rubber then installed as outer wiper/seal on the coupe window.  I cut and removed the old portion at the door jam.  You need to observe the original angle on the trailing edge for a good fit.

  Hope this help.

  Dick

      The pieces on the outside of the window, or the inside?

        Does anybody have a source for the window rubber weather-stripping for a '90 560SEC? I am looking for the driver and passenger side strips that run along the bottom of both the front and rear windows (4 pieces in total). The shop that is painting the car has contacted MBZ and they say it is no longer available. Thanks.
