Mercedes doesn't always design their cars with the thought of later repairs ever happening!!! The idea of redesign happens all of the time. Usually the problems start when folks w/limited ability attempt these ideas. Any good M.B. tech has done things not in the "book"! But cutting on the heater case?? I don't know. There is also a vacuum diaphram mounted at the top of the case that controls recycled/fresh air that usualy needs replacement at the same time as all rubber goes bad! Should we cut a hole in the dash to get at that diaphram?? I doubt it. As an American I always try new ideas, so as for the sacred "cow" I'll look into it.
