Re: [MBZ] Replacing outer window brushes
One more question I have is should I remove this outside chrome strip or just try and slip the brush under it? The strip has to come off, at least partway. That may or may not entail removing the mirror first. I've managed a time or two to avoid removing the mirror. -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] Replacing outer window brushes
I'm replacing the outer window brushes (sealing strip) in all of my windows in my 84 300SD. Before I begin does anyone have any hints to make it easier, for example is it better to loosen the glass in the door? I don't think so. They just pry straight up off the car once you have the trim strips off. They are held on with some pretty gnarly toothy spring clips. Five minutes at the U-Pull looking at a similar car will give you all the information you need. -- Jim

Will you also be replacing the vinly plastic sheathing that curls and cracks with age on the 123s?

I'm not sure what part you are talking about. The manual only shows what has been explained in this thread. I see no plastic sheathing. It looks like a press fit. (72-170). The one point I wasn't sure of is that the strip's shape doesn't look like it would hold in place very well. There is an outside chrome strip along the outside top edge of the door which the strip slips under that probably hold the outside of the brush. One more question I have is should I remove this outside chrome strip or just try and slip the brush under it? Dennis Perkins 84 300SD
