Turn signals

I think I once heard my turn signal - in the middle of the night, at a stop sign, with no other cars around. But I might have imagined it.

The car definitely has a hood pad. Protects the paint like you said and cuts down on noise.

I live the San Francisco Bay Area and I find the drivers here are terrible. So many are oblivious to what is going on around them.

Forgot to mention

I forgot to mention, I have the temperature dial set all the way to MIN and it 'clicked', so I believe the compressor should be on all of the time.

Is it the door or the window? I've never seen a 560 with an out of whack door, but almost every one has the window out of adjustment, or broken window alignment pieces.

Hi Strife,

I've heard of people soaking the bushing in hot water to make it more pliable.

These people repaired the cruise control on my 560sl. They even updated it so that it has a softer engage and dis-engage. They really know their stuff.
