This Mercedes-Benz glass panoramic removable hardtop is finished in Black (040) and was built for use on 1990-2002 R129 series cars of the era. The top features a steel frame, a glass panoramic roof with a retractable sunshade, glass windows, and Black vinyl trim. This R129 SL hardtop is now offered with a stand and cover from the seller in Marietta, Georgia and can be picked up in person. Buyers may choose to use a service such as uShip to have the items picked up in person and shipped.
The top is finished in Black (040) and features a panoramic glass roof and glass windows with painted steel bodywork along the frame. The original Siglia glass markings from the factory are present on the windows and visible in the gallery below. The seller notes he had the top professionally repainted in the original color by a reputable paint shop because of some light blemishes upon delivery.
The interior of the top features a retractable sunshade and grab handles on both the driver and passenger sides. The sunshade operates smoothly and extends/retracts as designed without issue. Photos of the sunshade in both positions are provided in the gallery. There is a small rip in the shade that doesn’t affect usability. The seller notes they had all of the inner vinyl panels redyed in factory Black because some pieces had an ashy finish.
The non-glass interior surfaces are trimmed in Black vinyl and photos showing the condition of the interior surfaces are provided in the gallery. The top has been tested and all latch points operate correctly when mated with an R129 chassis vehicle. Rubber and felt trim points appear in good condition with no major deterioration or obvious wear. All of the glass has a 35% smoked tint that is nano-ceramic and UV repellent.
This rare pano top has no chips, cracks or scratches in the glass. The top is accompanied by a stand and cover and is now offered by the seller in Marietta, Georgia and items must be picked up in person. Buyers may choose to use a service such as "uShip" or "DHL" to have the items picked up in person and shipped. Packaging will be the responsibility of the buyer or shipping company.

Alternate holidays@imgoodforit Check all the accounts start transferring balances and get ready to bid@imgoodforit You could always ask the seller to hold a second loan note and save the trip to the bank?

@imgoodforit I got this information from another post and have verified the measurements as well. Thanks! my best suggestion would be getting a quote through https://www.cratersandfreighters.com/. I have found them to be well priced and reliable. They pick up, package and transport. I have shipped large auto items with them in the past, they are a great service. I think you can call for a quote. I have researched the weight of the Pano top online and have figures ranging from 92lbs to 135lbs. I don't know what the correct weight is and I do not have any scales to weigh it myself. I have measured the top dimensions and they are as follows : 64"tall, 62" wide, 18" deep.@seller please provide complete dimensions including weight so that we may look into shipping options. Also, will you be able to package it up prior to shipping? Thanks.@R129hoarder @stutt… You guys are SO sensitive. You can not handle someone else’s opinion. No, I don’t think it’s as rare as you vocabulary leads it to believe and for an auction of this level a no reserve is more fitting, IMO. Hence the waste of time in the previous auction. Him/her reposing it as a no reserve proves that it was the right course of action in first place. Just because I don’t agree with you doesn’t make me passive aggressive, you just don’t like it.@polishadonis The MB Market is great because it brings a lot of enthusiasts together and for the most part brings out good discourse in the comments. The passive aggressive nature of your comment is strange and unwanted here. Option 415 was expensive in period and no one has an exact percentage on how many were optioned with them. I deal with a lot of R129s at my job and I’d say it’s less than 10% that come in with a pano top which those cars always bring a premium. Monoblocks, SL1 /2 and pano top always add value to a R129. I photographed this top and it’s in exceptional condition. There’s a lot of 040 cars out there and there will be someone that will benefit having it. It adds a lot to a R129 and makes the cabin really special feeling with it on. Great for the blazing summers here in the South with the heat right around the corner. Also wonderful in the dead of winter. Makes the season more bearable with lots of nautical light in the cabin. The seller is good and the top is very nice. It benefits no one to have unwarranted negativity here. Good luck with the sale!Looks like someone could use a Monday hug. There aren't many of these tops to go around and as the 129 becomes desirable again even less will be available for those who can afford to grab one. To say this seller is wasting time...I'd say he's here for the same reason most of us are. (It doesn't cost anything extra to be nice) @smcase good luck with the auction- you should do just fine!@ProdigalPetrolHead No, not rare. 200,000 cars made. A small percentage of a lot could still be a lot. It didn’t sell for the reserve bc sellar thought it was rare and the market didn’t think so….and wasted everyone’s time in process.@rideair I bought this for my SL 600 that I have since sold.@seller You purchased this top about two years ago on this website, why you selling it now?A video has been added to the listing.$2,750 bid placed by @imgoodforit
Hey there everyone. Sorry for the late reply. I’m out of town during this bid period. I have a friend looking into a price to pack this up and ship it for all that have asked. Hope to have this by bid day. Also, I won’t be able to be there this week for an inspection. I think I have a video somewhere that I can upload. Hope this helps. Look forward to this bid!!$2,500 bid placed by @BMWMBGuy

Would it be possible to come by and inspect the top?@polishadonis This one was listed prior but now it's up for No Reserve....I can't imagine it won't sell given those terms lol. Compared to the number or non-pano tops out there, I'd say it's still pretty darn rare. It was quite rare when they were new as a small percentage of cars came with it. @smcase great seeing the cars in the background....tell me you're an enthusiast without actually telling me!Two things. First, I don’t think the vocabulary that it is a rare option is accurate anymore. There is always one for sale on eBay. Currently five of them. Second, I seen this one for sale already. Hopefully you will sell it this time.@1160361200 Thanks for asking! This top will fit your '99 without any issues. Let me know if I can answer any other questions.My R129 is build 1999. Is this roof for late models?$1,000 bid placed by @BMWMBGuy
