    Good video mate I've done this on mine but the odd occasion mine drips on the drivers side front corner

      Thanks. Bummer about the leak. Is it in between the roof and front windscreen?

    Good video Dave.. Gummi Pflege is good as well.. I think that you're using KRYTOX which is better but 5x the price!

    Hi Dave! Thanks for the videos 👍🏻 I’m about to take possession of a well cared-for 2003 R230 SL350 from a friend. I want to keep on top of this type of preventative maintenance. Can you tell me the product number of the KRYTOX lubricant you used? Just so I source the right one. Cheers!

    I used a clear silicon grease £10 off Amazon for 500ml tub, I do mine once a month light coat with a brush. I used to get the odd small leak between the roof and rear screen, now all ok, It just refreshes the rubber, helps stop leaks and squeeks. I,m looking for a good workshop manual if anyone knows of one? thanks Ian

    Shouldn't you clean the seals prior to lubricating? you're rubbing that lubricant into potentially dirty seals - how can that be good?

    • @autogaragelife
      @autogaragelife  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh I did, the car was immaculately clean at all times but I used multi purpose cleaner on all seals prior to applying the lube👍
