Restoring 80 SL Interior

[Brian Felts]

Hey all a fellow is bringing me a 1980 SL 450 to restore for him. The interior has some water damage and needs replaced. Such as carpet,seat covers and door panels. Is there a web site or a manufacter I can look to for these? Ideas?

Thanks

I am a big fan of German Auto Tops, Inc., in North Hollywood, CA. They have tops and all interiors for our cars. They have the OEM specs and paterns. You pick quality range and color. They will make up the parts you want and ship them pretty quickly. Reasonable price, very helpful and honest. Ask for John Oganesyan, 818-766-9511; fax 1185.

I bought a new top, headliner and seats for my 92 500 SL. I am very happy with the quality of the materials and workmanship.

I second Mike above. I got my interior stuff from them also. Seat covers, door skins, carpets, all of it. They do GREAT work at a reasonable price!!

I had problems with fit and workmanship on carpets bought from them for my '72 350SL.

The patterns they used for my carpets were simply wrong for driver side threshold and console.

They were friendly and helpful, UNTIL I tried to get one item corrected. I ended up having to resolve all problems myself.

I would not buy from them again. You can't go far wrong if you use World Upholstery.
