That's pretty funny. I would say the car has neglected me with all the parts that have broken or failed for no good reason! Whoever heard a of a gear shifter breaking, an antenna amplifier breaking or worse yet, spring perches collapsing? As far as knowing how to do it myself, I have rebuilt several engines including Chevy's and VW's, replaced several clutches, exclusively done brake jobs on every car I have ever owned, along with scores of other automotive repairs. I am tired of replacing $600 parts in order to repair an ABS system that has already had 3 other $600 part put in it! I can understand fatigue and failure, but when the computer decides it isn't going to close your moon roof on this particular occasion, what the hell is that about? The last thing you expect on an MB, is parts just breaking like it were a Jaguar from the '80s!
