...but I am believing that any 107 up to the 85 is the same? I think something changed with the intro of the 560.

I am only a little surprised that MBUSA blew you off - you might get somewhere though if you raise holy hell. Search here and at sl107(dot) com - I swear somebody got some warranty/safety recall relief fairly recently..
