John, that is a great suggestion! When I checked my 560SL's bellcrank bolts, the lower of the two wasn't even finger-tight. I put about 5 turns on that one before it snugged-up. The upper was tight, as well as the three wiper motor nuts.

My rotary switch has a rubber boot over it. Is the bulb hiding inside? I don't see an easy way to slide the boot back...too jammed up with wires galour. I would cut the boot off (it's doing that degenerating-to-crumbs thing), but there are numerous wire terminals on the perimeter of that assembly. It would be nice if the whole thing pushed forward out of the dashboard.
