    SL Hardtop

    I bought a SL320 used without a hardtop and have now located one from a 1994
    500SL. Does anyone know if it will fit and attach correctly? My local
    dealer thinks so, but they said they need the VIN # from both cars to be
    sure. I do not have access to the 1994's VIN #.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yes, the two chasses are the same (R129) and the hardtop will work.

    Not true. The later 129 body has door windows that drop 1/2" when you open the door. The glass goes
    up into the hardtop seal. On the early 129's, the seal is L shaped and the glass sits against it. If
    you put a late top on a early body and roll the windows up.... you cannot open the doors!!

    Yes, Karl is correct and he knows tops better than any of the three dealers I
    talked to about this. I got a pano top for my 95 SL320 from him two years ago
    and am very pleased.
