Mercedes SL R129 Door Panel Pocket Lid Storage Hinge Change on Pre-Facelift 300SL 500SL 320SL 600SL

Step-by-step how-to video to replace, change the door panel pocket hinge from a Mercedes Benz r129 300SL, 320SL, 500SL, 600SL for years 1990 to 1995.

A broken door panel pocket hinge is common with these cars, as the plastic components become brittle and break. Luckily, there are a few after-market providers that produce these parts.

Car shown is 1993 300SL (from eightyeightfilms), but this video applies to all R129s (1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995).

The part shown in the video is made by RSC Autotechnik. They have an EBay store.
