@Muttlyoo7 perhaps. I was also wondering wether they were changed pre face-lift and post face-lift. Thanks for the comment. Just be very careful cleaning. I have cleaned mine and got the hairline scratches, and I thought I was being very careful. When the sun catches them, I f8nd it quite annoying I the rear view mirror.
Do anything like that for the r170 I'm after some sort of visor on top of the windscreen pillar or something that attaches to the sun visors. I get awful sun glare when the roof is down feels like the roof doesn't go far enough back when it's high in the sky. is there any like smoke glass window that covers over the front of the windscreen roof??
Because I used what they said worked, which was the existing bolts. Turns out, they do, just a bugger to fit. Personally I think they should send out longer bolts in the pack , part of the deflector kit.
HELP ME WITH MY SLK GLASS ROOF PLEASE Hi Dave I've just bought an SLK 250CD with a glass roof and there is a solid lining blocking out the light fox sake why did Mercedes do this So would you do a vlog with my car and i can pay for the parts I can get a roof liner for £300 on EBay its £2300 with Mercedes Benz All there is are 2 screws and 6 clips I think I saw a German guy relacing his roof on a SLK 350 and it looked easy Surely there must be loads of people with glass roofs who don't know you can do this and nobody has done a vlog here on this subject Obviously i will help if i can to hold things lol So if you are interested please let me know I'm fuming i was conned, I asked if there was a glass roof and the salesman said yes which there was but I should have asked if it was a sky roof so its my fault, the salesman could have been more helpful but then I wouldn't have bought the car ok look forward to hearing from you hopefully
You have to be so careful. Due to the roof mech, you need the correct supports for the roof if it needs to be left in an open position to do the work, as you also need to override the roof from closing. Even some German car specialists won't do work on the roof. I would advise you to go on a website like www.slkworld.com or some specialist FaceBook Mercedes groups. Your car is also a R172, so will be different to my R171.
I really like the rollbar inserts, the Mercedes logo is a really nice touch.
Nicely done mate, hello from Cape Town!
Thanks for watching and subscribing. Appreciate it 👍
Nice video Davyd. ;-) I'm certain others will find this helpful
Well packaged. Look simple enough. Perhaps they can update their instructions. Also the bolts would look better black
I like it uncle David, i cant wait to see the merce soon. Hello Dylan. Where's Luke?
I found the fitting very straightforward on my SLK280 and didn't have any of the problems you encountered. Maybe your bolts were shorter than mine?

And the smoke glass looks nice, it adds detail and fingerprints won't show anywhere near as much
Thanks logan
Can you post the link of the store (windshield )?
@@vladimirart758 no link. Just search pippins wind defelectors
Why did you not try longer bolts ???

HELP ME WITH MY SLK GLASS ROOF PLEASE
Hi Dave I've just bought an SLK 250CD with a glass roof and there is a solid lining blocking out the light fox sake why did Mercedes do this
So would you do a vlog with my car and i can pay for the parts I can get a roof liner for £300 on EBay its £2300 with Mercedes Benz
All there is are 2 screws and 6 clips I think I saw a German guy relacing his roof on a SLK 350 and it looked easy
Surely there must be loads of people with glass roofs who don't know you can do this and nobody has done a vlog here on this subject
Obviously i will help if i can to hold things lol
So if you are interested please let me know I'm fuming i was conned, I asked if there was a glass roof and the salesman said yes which there was but I should have asked if it was a sky roof so its my fault, the salesman could have been more helpful but then I wouldn't have bought the car
ok look forward to hearing from you hopefully

Looks painful to install, at least it comes with a free cat though.
