Its likely your rear windshield gasket is leaking, if this be so you
may see water dripping down on the wheel well part (rounded) of
your plastic trunk well liners, Thats not a cheap fix and, around
here anyway, they wont be responsible if the glass breaks.

Thanks for posting that, very interesting indeed. In the early
'60s I worked as deckhand on a tug and we delivered JP4 to Moffite
(sp?) Field and I remember walking the pipe line ashore and checking
out those hangers, they where huge. I could keep a whole lot of 240Ds

Just curious... does anyone know anything about the aluminum rims
that some W123s came with, what year, good and bad points?? I don't
mean the alloy Bundts we are all familiar with, these Aluminum rims
look just like the steel ones but have four dabs of white paint and
are way lighter. I
on his 190SL and painted them the Pea Green
color of the car. He also put the three 'keepers' that the small
original hub caps snap onto. I spotted them the first time I saw the
190SL because of the 'holes' in the wheels.
BTW, they are light in weight.
