Yeah,
I have the manual too. There was so much "caulk" on mine I have trouble believing MB did it. Also since the drain hole was quite deliberately caulked shut I have questions about the skill of whoever did it. If the install/caulking was done correctly then you wouldn't need to fill the hole.... Also the caulk was not applied completely around the window mostly on the sides an corners with none on the top/roof section and none sealing the glass/rubber joint and none at the ornamental frames joint. Then they just used so much it just didn't make sense. Regarding "to caulk or not to caulk" there has been some debate about using any sealant/caulk at all. I believe TXBill recommends not using any..... Also I remember reading that the MB caulk was not readily available. I will have to ask around tomorrow. Oh yeah, Exxon regular unleaded removes the old caulk quite nicely. Thanks, RT
