This doesn't sound like a cheap fix.

It is a cheap fix....if...you do it yourself. Previous poster with the instructions is spot on.....but..it took me 6~7 hours vs paying the stealership a grand!
I have issues with shops and stealerships charging unreasonable rates and yet paying the actual person doing the work slave wages! Sure, one needs to make money to stay in business...but screwing over folks is uncalled for. Stealership rates are what...averaging 100 bucks an hour...independent shops what...50/60 an hour. Unreasonable.
Just because one owns a Benz does not mean they can afford it!
Here on Guam...shops charge 50/60/70 an hour and pay mechanics 10/12 bucks an hour! And when you pay and leave...another problem pops up!
