On one hand I say its a simple door seal, how could they mess it up. On the other hand a friend brought over a URO windshield seal for his 280SL, it fit the glass, and it got the frame, but it couldn't accommodate the trim that presses in to lock it in place. We ordered up a dealer part at 5x the cost and had it together in 20 minutes lol.

However I'm more apt to drop big bucks on a vintage SL than on a 123. $800 for door seals on $3-5k cars is unreasonable.

How about picking up 1 seal and giving it a shot. $32 or however much they are for URO isn't a huge loss. Please post your results if you do. If I end up picking one up ill post my results.

My dads 123 needs at least two done and weve been eyeing the UROs but the windshield seals incident put me off.

It sounds like you've bought some URO parts in the past, like me, and have had better results than the forum hype on average. Which makes me want to try the door seals. The only URO stuff I've had fail instantly was anything with a bearing in it like we did a carrier on a friends car and a belt tensioner and pulley on my 60X and both lasted a matter of weeks. In both cases we got full refunds and bought replacements at the dealer.
