// About this kit

Part number: VDCMERSL0310
Fits: Mercedes SL2002–2011
Made by: Vertical Doors, Inc., USA
In the kit: Left and right hinge assemblies, gas shocks, mounting hardware, instructions

This is a hinge conversion, not a body modification. Part number VDCMERSL0310 from Vertical Doors, Inc. replaces your factory door hinges with scissor-style units that let each door pivot out and swing up vertically. The kit bolts straight to the factory bolt pattern, so nothing gets cut or welded, and the whole conversion is reversible if you ever want the car back to stock.

2 Vertical Doors, Inc. lambo door hinges, one for each side
2 gas shocks to hold the doors open once they are up
All mounting hardware needed for the swap

Fitment covers every trim of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class from 2002 through 2011. The hinges are made in the USA from domestic hardened steel, and the design is patented here as well. A step-by-step instruction manual ships in the box and VDI backs it with free tech support, but door alignment on a conversion like this takes care to get right, so we recommend having a professional installer handle the job using the instructions supplied with the kit.

Shown: a typical VDI kit. Your kit is made for your car, so its exact plate, arm, brackets and shock differ from this drawing.

The kit you buy: mounting plate, pin and hub, swing arm, door bracket, gas shock, cam stop, boltsYour car: the body apron and the doorThe factory hinge it replacesThe kit starts as its separate pieces, then goes together in the order it's fitted. The door first swings out on the vertical pin, then lifts on the round bearing hub, and the gas shock holds it up: the two-stage motion in VDI's patent (US 6,845,547). Each kit has right and left hinge assemblies, two gas shocks, M8 bolts with washers, shoulder bolts and pins (VDI install manuals); set screw #2 and nut #1 adjust where the door closes. A typical kit, drawn from VDI's Crossfire manual: the plate, arm, brackets, shock and angles differ by vehicle, and each kit is made for its car.
