Fred,

Tell me about it. When I removed my drivers door panel I had instructions to carefully pull the panel straight up or I would break the clips. Didn't help. Broke some anyway. So frusterating. One thing I learned is not to work on any platic when its cold. I actually use a heat gun on plastic plugs at the engine sensors since I broke some trying to remove them when they were cold.

Steve,
Yes I do have your index and it is marvelous. Should be included by MBUSA. I just didn't expect to find trunk adjustment in interior jobs. I guess I'll figure it out eventually.

I'm always amazed at how cheap most of the parts for the MB are. I just picked up a lever arm that moves the wind deflector of the sunroof down as it closes. The piece is stainless with intricate plastic mounts on either side. I fully expected $50-$70cdn. and would have accepted $100 for that part from GM. It was $7.00cdn. Unbelievable when you look at the part.

I'm stunned that some parts on my car were fixed with duct tape and glue when the proper part was available for less than $5.00 from the dealer, and in many cases that includes shipping from Germany.

I also have a 79 International Scout and would love to walk into a dealer to buy parts.

Steve
I see you have a K100RT. I've been without a bike for about 10 years now and often think about getting back into it, just can't see myself on a Harley or rice rocket though. Did the K100 turn out to be as durable as they seemed they would be when they first came out?
