At the risk of exposing myself as a true idiot, I'd like some advice on replacing the plugs in the spouse's E320. I pulled the cover to do this about 6 months ago and wasn't familiar with what I saw.

If I recall correctly, there were these odd pieces on top of every other plug (again, this was months ago) and I wasn't sure if they simply pulled off or had hold downs of some sort. I didn't want to muck it up, so I just buttoned it all up and told myself I'd "get back to that shortly".

Well, it's been more longly than shortly and we're taking a road trip to CA to take #1 daugther to college and I'm thinking I ought to change the plugs.

Advice, ridicule, comments and helpful bits are appreciated.

Ciao for now,
