So my wife comes home today from the grocery store and tells me that while she was in line..she overheard someone talking about a garage sale at an airplane hanger. She convinces me to go....
While she is in a hangar shopping, I catch a glimpse of a Mercedes emblem through two doors, barely open across the way. So I walk over there in the rain to find two hangers stuffed with vintage gas and diesel benzes!!! (convertibles, sedans, coupes, must have been 15 cars. No $@#$! I introduce myself, and tell the owner that I have restored a wagon....(this was all in my first sentence)...and I was floored when his first sentence included...oh yeah do you have a cargo cover...I have one here that you can have!!!!!!! OH MY GAWD!! He gave my a cargo cover and dog net for free, and I hadn't even gotten his name yet!! He then showed me two perfect condition front seats for my wagon in Palomino and told me he would sell them...just needed to ask his son for a price!!!! WOW, the MERCEDES GODs were looking over me today!!! Solved my seat problem!!! All on a chance meeting!
The cargo cover is in black...but I can deal with that. I do need a lead on finding all the hardware for it, and also, the cargo part is not retracting. It appears that the unit is sealed by rivets, is there a way to dismantle and fix it? Maybe someone out there wants a black one and has a palomino? (wishful thinking...but ever so happy)
Thanks
Charles...
