My SL500 is all buttoned up. This video was recorded some time ago. I drove the car for about a year after fixing it on and off with my LS430. Those two cars complement each other. I mean they are the same two letters L and S. It was meant to be.

Lots of nerd content and diagnosing in this video. If you have a 500 Benz (m119) or just have a Mercedes these videos con be really informative on how to get a real tune up and or just some entertainment. Next video the three seals come in and the car is buttoned up. Thanks for watching.

Couple problems with the mirror. The mirror can either continuously click or it can fold out all the way inverted. With this video you can fix either.
Rebuilding all Soft Top Hydraulics on Mercedes R129 SL500
มุมมอง 9Kปีที่แล้ว
With this video you should be able to rebuild and get to all hydraulic cylinders. There is a variety of kits online for seals. Dont overthink it and it wont be hard. The key to removing the clips holding in the ram seals is a thin screwdriver. I recomend buying these scredrivers to start www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Precision-Phillips-Slotted-Screwdriver-Set-4-Piece-48-22-2604/205315995?source...

Hi Kevin,thanks for your videos,kindly could you tell us something about the hydraulic cylinders of the roll bar pls thanks.
Greatings from Australia mate...I would have bought a new Carby mate..!
You need to clean your flywheel with emery cloth along with the points. then put your points back on a set them with a paper credit card. Which you can get from junk mail.
@@kriegmeister1 good idea
NICE MOWER U GO GUMPING NOW. 😊😊
Im telling my kids this is napoleon dynamite
You definitely sound like the visine dry eyes commercial guy.
Is there any "drone" on motorways?
Hello & Thanks for providing the simple instructions allowing me to lower the soft top. I personally enjoy the soft top. It keeps all of the rain out with no difficulties and personally I think the car looks better with the soft top. Your instructions are particularly helpful as I need to pick-up my hardtop from a friends garage. I am in need of a replacement of all of the hydraulic mechanisms which, by the way, can cost up to 1,400. each. However, in Southern California I have a gentleman (although there are others) that purchase the cylinders rebuilt and they also will replace the cloth top with a German made product matching the original. The entire cost is somewhere around 3,500.-3,900.. A remarkable deal if you wish to keep your R129 intact as I do. Everything on my car, a '92, works. Everthing. We shouldn't be shy about searching the internet for replacement new or used parts - they are quite available. Thanks again!
A video demonstration without actually showing it.
I have a 2003 LS430. Radio works but when I turn up the volume, it cuts off & on. What’s the problem?
There are a set of air openings for the trunk very lose to the Nav box and the amp. If you drive though a deep puddles in pouring rain these vents an allow brake dust dirt mositure and water into the wheel well, that will cause metal corrosion problems on your eletronics terminals. Seal up the "vents" with duct tape or HVAC duct sealer and keep the car in the garage if you can in bad weather.
How bad is the drone on the highway at 2,000 RPM? This seems like a nice and cheap mod without getting unreasonably loud... but also seems like you might ruin the ability to peacefully cruise at 70-75 mph which would be a huge con.
Guys kill me when they jump into a luxury car and then start driving like they're qualifying for the NASCAR 500
Amazing. Easy and it worked! I wish you made all the DIY videos on you tube.
R129s never came with a limited slip
I'll say it again but on this video of yours sir, I am a proud owner of an '04 sport suspension package model onyx black 5 spoke chrome plated rims interior is tan. not probably but most definitetly the smartest purchase I've ever made in my 32 years on this planet. Have a nice day =)
Thank you for making this video
Better think about getting new tires soon..
lool i like this and it would be fine if it was any other lexus or toyota but its an LS and LSes should be treated better. the oem repair is always worth it on these considering theyll last literally forever if treated right
Good job mate, you should get a Porsche 911, you only live once.
Id like to thank Amanda Bynes and Rich The Kid for the making of this video
Just found our the passenger side arm will not extend, the driver side does and the sun blocking net seems to be missing. Thanks for your video. I hope it helps me troubleshoot my problem. I like the creativity of using the electrical wire to hold the net onto the bracket.
Terrible video you’re scattered and dealing with a spaghetti bowl of wires
I have the same lawn mower but can't get it to run. It starts, runs for about 30 seconds then dies. I have replaced the carburetor and added fresh fuel. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
The Celsior is going to be legal very soon. It's going to be a much better deal.Then the ones you were showing
A 60k mi. LS430 in 2024 will cost at least $15k+ (biden inflation)
Ive had an 05 Black on Black modern luxury sport suspension for almost 5 years and just gave it to my son who just got his license. Love the car so much just bought the same car in Flint Mica on black
Thanks homie
This guy doesn't take care of this car, its shameful. Yeah like he is really going to go back and buy the new top.
It looks good. My daughter has one but I can't get it started. It doesn't have a battery., it must have some kind of internal voltage producing system. Could you go through the starting sequence? Thanks!!!.
Any suggestions for easily removing the throttle linkages? I really need to take my carb off & clean it thoroughly & I can’t get either one to budge. Thank you!
Hey, Thanks Much for Posting this. It helped me change by Battery in my 2024 - You Rock
I take back what I said about batteries plus. They suck. Dont go there. I went there today in another car to get a key fob battery and the little dog tried to sell me a battery for $25. I told him F off and scam someone else.
Rather have a 460, more hp and more modern look.
Why did you sell your sl?
Who do most people do things?
Because it's a pain in the ass when it's good when it's not good shit looks alien till it doesn't next thing you know you got a PhD in the shit right before the last thing is done to make it perfect you go oh shit I know how to supercharge my ke jetronic! I hate this car that being said it's a good puzzle to fuck with to bad I ain't fit for TH-cam!
Oh and thank you by the way you helped me a lot through my learning process over the past year.
You are a gentleman and a scholar! I could not get this figured out by reading the owners manual. I really think the manual is wrong. Or maybe just outdated. Thank you!
I thought you sold your SL? Anyway, watched all your SL videos and I was pretty impressed with the all the repairs that you performed. Just wondering how you approached a given repair...say this repair... did you consult manuals or online forums or just how did you do it?
I did sell it but still had a lot of videos of it that I didnt know if I wanted to post. Its just a puzzle like being a kid. Or you coulkd look at it like Legos. You match things up that work and fix the things that dont work. If I didnt understand, sure Id look things up. Thanks for watching though
@@Maybe1Someday If you have more videos of the r129 post them. I thought you put some good content out. I would have liked to see more of how you actually did each job in detail. "maybe someday" you buy another 129 fixer upper now that you know what your doing :) Take care.
@@rioratonimma be real actually. Id love to buy my SL back but its got a new roof, hardtop, gold bbs, and interior and its way more then I sold it for.
@@Maybe1Someday I was thinking not your old SL but another fixer upper 500sl for a few thousand $
@@rioraton I saw a black SL with black hardtop and interior for little money and I thought about getting it
Near the end of the video two cards appear at the top right. The one where I "fix the car with a $2 wire" is probobly the video Im most proud about ever producing so far and it has some of the lowest views. Its a good video, Id appreciate it if you check it out. Thanks for watching
That positive battery terminal is Toyota’s Achilles heel! Not sure why it is made of such crappy malleable material! Have replaced quite a few of these with heavy duty marine type terminals

2004 Lexus LS430.. I have 305,309 right now.
Great channel- just subscribed!
One good top before you think of replacing it: Take the knob off and squirt some WD40. I thought I had to replace mine because it was not staying on the headlight position.One squirt is all it took.Problem solved.
The windows not working I have problem is the fuse. Where is the problem?
Just picked up at 06’ with 119k. Cypress Pearl with Ivory Interior. Timing Belt was just done. Got it for $8500. It needs a little paint correction but it’s in remarkable condition.
Great video, thanks. Nice job.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I have a 91 500SL. The lens and or seal are damaged resulting in water ingress in the trunk. I worry that the clips will brake as I try to remove the lens. Did you manage to find a new lens from MB? Did it come with a new gasket too?
