Re: RE: [diesel_mercedes] WELCOME NEWBIE !

 

Thanks.  I am also from Oregon :). I checked rock auto, thought it looked good. Next time I need a part I'll check there. I don't think I have a repair manual but I believe I have an owners manual or a service manual. I also have a book on the w115 bodies. I don't need new windows just the seal around them (maybe you got that and I just didn't understand what you said), as well as the seals on the door. I think installing the door seals are pretty safe for me to do. I had to fix the the thing that moves the window up and down already and didn't have a problem with the glass so I think I am fine there too.

There MAY be some adjustment possible of the steering box. Be careful. If you make a smidge too tight, the steering won' re-center to a straight line after turning a corner.  Do you have a repair manual for you car?

I would have a professional glass place provide the window and new seal, AND install them. Windows are tricky and break if handled the least little bit wrong.

Nate will have advice on getting the best window gasket.

For parts, I check on eBay. Next would be https://www.rockauto.com/

Hey my name is Dexter and I have a 1967 200D. I put in all new brake lines, callipers, beaker master, clutch master and clutch slave. I want to use this car as my daily driver (mainly to and from school). Right now I am working on replacing the front wheel bearings and tightening the steering box. The car needs new window and door seals, but I have no idea where to look for them. Thanks.
