About 2 days ago I found out something else I did not know. (In My case I copied the 2 Disc set to My hard drive.)
I was looking for information on removing and installing the outside Body Trim at the bottom of the Door. When I looked in the CD there is no mention of it in any of the indexes.
I have the 2 Set Body And Chassis Books and I looked it up and the info I wanted was in the Book. I copied Down the Section Numbers from the Book and went back to the Computer and double left clicked on MERCEDES MANUAL 2; the double left clicked on Programs; double left clicked on Chassis.

When you do that you will see the section numbers as they are listed in the Books.
What I found is that the information on the Trim was actually there; but, for some reason does not show up in the index.

I also found that in the Book there is an extensive section on removing parts of the Body where you cut through the Spot Welds and re-weld the new sections on. None of that is in the CD Manual.

So there may be other things in the Manual that are not visible in the indexes.
Thank you so very much for the reply!

I saw that when I first got the C.D., but until now couldn't really understand it. Now with all the information you have given, can start looking through and making some sense.

Maybe in the very distant future, will see about picking up an actual physical shop manual. For now, bread is beyond tight.
