Detailed Description

URO part number 1077710098 is a rear convertible top seal for Mercedes-Benz SL roadsters with soft top to body fitment. It is shaped to match the original sealing profile, helping maintain a tight interface at the rear of the top where leaks, dust intrusion, and noise often begin. This seal is a direct replacement for aging rubber on the 380SL and 560SL, and it supports a cleaner, quieter closure at the body line. The part number 1077710098 is also useful when cross-checking interchange references during service or restoration work.

This part cross-references URO-000395 for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Address

• Water leaking past the rear soft top seal
• Wind noise around the convertible top edge
• Rubber that has hardened, cracked, or shrunk with age
• Dust entering the cabin through worn sealing surfaces
• Convertible top squeaks caused by sticking or uneven contact

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the mating surface on the body and the soft top frame before installation. Remove old adhesive residue, dirt, and hardened rubber so the new seal seats evenly. Verify alignment along the rear soft top to body edge before final closure. For best results, confirm vehicle fitment by model year before ordering; this seal fits 1981-1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL and 1986-1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL.
