I can't believe I spent 23.5 minutes watching Jakub replace a headliner for a car that I don't own.... Entertaining and informative if I ever do buy an SL500 though 😄

Greetings, many thanks for this post. Just a tip for anyone else. I managed to get all the foam off the headliner but for the life of me, in California could not find the thin foam to reuse the old headliner again. So I thought, sod this for a game of soldiers and stuck it back on without the thin foam. Not the best outcome as I now have some small bubbles on the sides. Maybe it is best to get all new headliner material even if it is different from the original MBZ. Just an FYI for anyone else. Thanks again, hey and be well.

When you say hopefully it'll never come unglued again.... it will, in another 15-25 years or whatever, because it's not glue coming undone, it's the foam disintegrating so the layers of the "fabric" come apart. That is, unless the new headliner material has foam in the middle of it which is slower to degrade. Cheap bedding foam for example, like some mattress toppers quickly turn yellow, but acoustic foams are far more resistant to age.

Great job! I know that you said to wait ~5 minutes after spraying the adhesive to then attach the liner to the shell, but I was surprised that you didn't give it a while to then cure after it was attached before putting it all back together.

Hey Jakub, just a word of advice... whenever you're working with any cloth like material trying to stick it to a surface, always use a roller to make sure the material really sticks evenly to the surface because just pressing it with your hands doesn't make sure the pressure applied is even throughout. It can leave some air between the material and the surface. Just roll on the applied surface after sticking it with your hands with reasonable pressure. It really makes sure that the surface is then smooth all over and correctly stuck. I sometimes even use like an aluminium foil roll if I don't have a proper roller with me. Great job though! Saved a lot of bucks!!

There are also shops that only do headliners that use some spare headliner cloth, a "rag" of it so to speak, several layers folded up, to press the fabric onto the headliner board. Just another option, might work better for contours.

Is that hardtop the original? What optional accessory codes does your 129 with regards to upholstery Very unusual to see the C-pillar trim to have stitching and leather appointment outside that of the SL600's. I believe there was an upgraded "exclusive" leather interior package on offer for your vintage 129 to option a 500 or 320 to have the same leather treatment as a 600. Either way, I think you have a rare example on your hands.

Sure looks great! Is the gasket that holds the headliner in connected to the flocked rubber that the back of the side windows slides against? (My headliner is fine, but my window gasket flocking is wearing and I’d really like to replace it.)
