After that the lifting arms at the back picked it up and away we went. No rattles or more importantly leaks and its been out in some fairly wet weather since.
One thing that doesn't work is the central metal arm, its a bit heath robinson really. It doesn't press on the central microswitch when down so the switch doesn't work. If you press on the arm its fine. I'm sure it could be adjusted (bent!) to make contact but I haven't done that yet.

vitesse said:I always use Silicone spray with a cloth on sunroof/door/hatch seals.
if you use dash shine silicone it has a bunch of plasticisers in it that helps rubber bits a lot, but that cherry smell makes me feel sick and it can be very slippy, gummi is Matt finish and no smell
is this the same stuff from a different manufacturer?Chrishazle said:Cheapest place for Gummipflege is invariably Micks Garage on eBay, look for his listing for 2 sticks rather than 1 as that gives a much better price per stick - been using it for 8 years now on both cars (968 cab and C220 estate) and will shortly be treating the SLK with it.

Answered my own question by ordering both, one is a liquid with a sponge applicator the cheaper amazon is more like a prit stick - will try them both when the weather is warmer,944Turbo said:is this the same stuff from a different manufacturer?Chrishazle said:Cheapest place for Gummipflege is invariably Micks Garage on eBay, look for his listing for 2 sticks rather than 1 as that gives a much better price per stick - been using it for 8 years now on both cars (968 cab and C220 estate) and will shortly be treating the SLK with it.

No stock available, not very helpful. I don't have any contacts or relationship with them. Looks like not enough interest in a group buy either, so I'll keep an eye on the second hand market I guess...

To be honest the price wasn't sufficiently motivating at this time. The customer service I received from Pilkington was so appalling that the whole thing left a very bad taste in my mouth. So at the moment, in the hope of redeeming something positive from the process, I think I'll keep it in the box for a few more years in the hope it gains some rarity value. It was a bit of an impulse buy really and it turns out I'm 100% happy with the car as it is. That said, I'm selling the 951 later in the year so might just advertise it on here or eBay when the car has gone.
