How to replace the hood lining on a Mercedes Class E W123 (also known as "the cat")
Model: Mercedes Classe E
W123
- Years 1976-1985
The Mercedes Classe E W123, a car that had its moment of glory in the 70s and 80s, was known as "the crawler" due to its robustness and reliability even at very high mileage (it was not uncommon to find examples with over 500,000 km, still in perfect condition). During those years it was used as a NCC, taxi, and representative car. A tireless worker! Now let's see how to replace the internal lining of the hood, which we can find on auto-doc. It with the EAN code 4027816089087 at the price of 47.99 euros + 9.95 euros for delivery. We open the hood (it would be ideal to remove it and place it on a table), clean the surface from any traces of old adhesive, dirt, and grease. Apply the adhesive generously on both the hood and the lining, paying attention to the edges and the central part. Wait a few minutes before joining the two parts, then position the lining firmly, using both hands and pressing firmly; if possible, get help, otherwise follow the video suggestion and lean a broom handle against it to maintain constant pressure while the glue sets. Let it dry for a few hours, then remove any excess glue. Speaking of glue, do not skimp on it, neither in quality nor quantity.
