I left all the struggles in the video because I’ve watched too many DIY videos that show the job done way too easily

I can't believe I spent 23.5 minutes watching Jakub replace a headliner for a car that I don't own.... Entertaining and informative if I ever do buy an SL500 though 😄

By far the best headliner video I've watched for the R129, very thorough, nice job. Car looks good too.

Great job, thank you for sharing. I am about to undertake the same job with my recently purchased '94 SL 500, however am a bit confused about the fabric to purchase. <br>Sellers list trim mostly with a thin foam layer, some just the fabric without a foam backing. It's a little hard to tell from the video what you used. <br>In your opinion/experience which would you suggest for the job? Thank you in advance for any advice.

Most upholsterers will overhang by 2 cm, and they'll glue the whole overhang to the backside. Once it's dry, they'll cut the excess fabric in a uniform distance from the edge, and they peel up and off the cut excess. This gives you fully adhered fabric to the very edge of the wrap, so it won't curl off over time, and it gives you a little wiggle room for mistakes and mess.

Awesome video! About to do the same for my 99...

Really nice job Jakub. Now all I need to get is the hard top stand, a bunch of material and expensive headline glue, (if it's even available in UK!!) and get cracking before my headlining ends up on my lap.😂

I'm so glad my R129 has the glass panoramic hardtop which won't suffer from that problem ; just enjoying the last days of nice weather before I put it on for the winter , plus I need to get the soft top properly dry before putting it away . Have to say , though , that my previous R129 which did have the standard aluminium hardtop never suffered from that problem at all over the seven years I had it ; mind you the hardtop lay in my garage most of the time as I drove with the top down at every opportunity ; and do also with my current one .
