This is a set of 2 hardtop back cover top molding trims for the Mercedes-Benz R129 roof system, replacing OEM A1297581181.

Description

The hardtop back cover top molding trims secure the rear edge of the removable hardtop. Over time, original factory plastics degrade from UV exposure, leading to cracks, fading, or missing segments. This replacement kit includes the left trim (OEM A1297581181) and the right trim (OEM A1297581281).

Installing these molded ABS pieces restores the factory appearance and seals the hardtop edge. The trims are designed to match the original dimensions for a direct fit on the R129 chassis.

Features

Direct replacement for OEM A1297581181 and OEM A1297581281.
Set of 2 pieces covering both the left and right sides of the hardtop.
Manufactured from rigid ABS plastic for structural stability.
Molded in black to match the original factory aesthetic.
Exact dimensional match to the factory Mercedes-Benz R129 hardtop profile.

Benefits

Eliminates unsightly cracked or missing rear roof trim sections.
Prevents debris accumulation along the hardtop rear mounting edge.
Reduces the cost and time of sourcing individual discontinued trims by providing a complete left and right pair.

Compatibility

Mercedes-Benz R129 (1989-2001)
Please verify your OEM part number before purchasing.

Installation

Remove the degraded original moldings using a non-marring plastic pry tool. Clean the mounting channel of any residual dirt before snapping the new ABS trims firmly into place.
