Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / December 200694 sl500 visor mirror cover
The plastic aruond one of the hinges on my 94 sl500 visor mirror cover has cracked and a very small but important piece of it is missing so that the cover is held on by one hinge. Dealer advises that entire visor must be replaced at approx $300 plus labor. Does any one know of an alternative fix? Thanks It has to be replaced. No glue can provide better strength than the original part. And you mention there is a small piece missing. Try used parts (aka junkyards). > The plastic aruond one of the hinges on my 94 sl500 visor mirror cover has > cracked and a very small but important piece of it is missing so that the > cover is held on by one hinge.

Go to a different dealer. Have them show you the parts picture on the computer screen. Let me know how you come out. > It has to be replaced.

Take a knitting needle and construct a new hinge using 2 component araldit glue, that with 24 hours hardening time.  SignatureRoland Franzius who just replaced the C-class wiper motor for 235 EUR, without labor. Could have had an old VW beatle for twice that price. |
