I think this is the ultimate fate for every Benz owner. Early in the ownership of our 220D, we had the star stolen, but they broke it in the process, making it useless to them as well as me. A number of years later the star was stolen off of one of the 123 parts cars. Grrrrrrrrrrr

I recently took one off of a parts car purchased earlier in the year. Now I can't put enough pull on the spring to get the keeper back on for storage. Is there a special tool for this?
