Tom -
You very well may find it in the archives. I'm assuming your '83 126 is
similar to my '81. The problem is that the elastic is gone from the top
horizontal part of the net. It is fairly easy to replace but on my car it
had seen many years of direct sunlight and a lot of the plastic parts have
Does this apply to the 123 as well?
Thanks,

It should. You have to pull the seat back off to get at the net.
As he mentioned, the plastic frame that holds the netting will be really
brittle from age, and will probably break into multiple pieces when you try to
remove it.
Just go slow and do your best to preserve as much of it as
Dwight,
Consider yourself lucky — with an older W123 you probably have a metal rather
than plastic frame.
Removal is obvious once the seat back is off.

I am assuming that the instructions for tightening up the nets on the back
of a front seat should be somewhat generic. The car is my 83 300SD. Just
working on some little things to improve the appearance inside.
Does anyone have that written down or could I find it on line?
Thanks.
