I love the shocked look on people's face when the arm is right next to their head.

I'm not too mech. inclinded to pull the interior apart to try and fix things. I'd love to find a wrecked '88 CE and pull the guts out for the passenger side. I dickered around with a guy here selling one from an '89 iirc some time ago but the part #'s were different. I wasn't willing to buy it unless discounted so I passed. I don't have much on the passenger side, including the retractor. SB kind of just hangs there.

Question to ask: Are all the CE presenters the same on the W124s regardless of different #s? Would an 89 or 90 or up fit and operate in an 88? (1988 was the first year of the US coupe).
