Sad news ~ my big brother called me this afternoon, he got T-boned by a woman in a Nissan Rouge (some sort of SUV or crossover thing) when she ran a red light at speed, hitting his 4,000 + 1987 Mercedes 300SLD hard enough to spin it in a circle, it's done for, look at the photos ~ not only is the right rear door and lower body mangled but the upper part of the 'C' pillar now has a shallow dent in it, not from direct impact, from the body being twisted . the right front door is also sprung and out of alignment with the body .

He loves this car in spite of refusing to ever wash it , maybe we'll be able to find another one that needs a good engine....

He's now driving my Coupe, I hope he doesn't get hit in it .

[diesel_mercedes] 300CD Backlight Pinchweld Repair

 


O.K., as long as the glass is out, consider measuring / tracing the upper and lower pinchwelds, if they're close or the same you should be able to find the upper pinchweld locally in a junkyard, lop the roof off with a sawzall and use that for new metal....

Darn, only 3000miles away.  I'm near Philadelphia.

I'm glad I pulled the window to stop and fix it. I hate I pulled the window because now it sits in the garage....
