Hello everyone...
I brought my 1994 SL500 to the dealer because the soft top switch light and 'beeping' would not go off (the top was up and locked, but it wasn't recognized as being up). They said that it was the soft top control unit, whcih would cost about $1500.
Also while cycling the top up and down a few times to get the light to go off and the beeping to stop, the plastic window tore. This was quoted to cost another $2,000 to fix.
So my questions for you all are-
1 - do you have any suggestions for aftermarket sources for a soft top control unit, and is it a difficult item to replace myself?2 - is there a source and would you recommend replacing just the plastic window, or does the whole back part of the top need to be replaced.
Thanks for your help!
Todd
