Sliding Roof - Mercedes-Benz 450 SL 1980 Owner's Manual

Hardtop
The roadster top may become
moldy if it is kept enclosed in the
storage com partm ent fo r an exten­
ded period. We recommend you to
have the roadster top removed in a
MERCEDES-BENZ service station if
you intend to drive only with the
hardtop fo r a lengthy period.
Should the roadster top, however,
be kept in the car, unfold and air it
thoroughly (do not expose to the
sun) at regular intervals during the
wet and cold seasons.
A special container fo r the storage
of roadster tops or hardtops is avail
able from your MERCEDES-BENZ
service station.
