Re: [MBZ] W124 front end rebuild
It took two of us 5 hours working at an amateur pace. As far as details go, there wasn't much to it. Just unbolt and rebolt really. The workshop manual (available online for free now) has what you need for torque specs, etc. A w126 is another beast. Theres many more bushings and joints to change if you do everything. Theres more to press in and out also. I need to do some minor work on my next week, so I'll let you know how it goes.

[MBZ] door liner hooks
Several of the plastic hooks on my driver's door liner (W116) are snapped off and missing. So it's basically hanging by the top and one hook near the hinge. Anyone have any clever ideas for repair? I had a look inside the door and did not find the pieces. I'm thinking of going to the hardware store and looking for spring metal clips of some sort that I may be able to adapt.

3M 8090 (or 9080, I can never remember). The regular super trim adhesive won't handle the heat. Don't use liquid nails -- the next time the pad falls apart (in five or six years) you will be faced with a terrible mess trying to get all that crap off again. The bottle of 3M will do two cars.

Re: [MBZ] door liner hooks
I believe the metal clips from the 110/111/112 series will work in place of the plastic ones. They might last a little longer, if you end up keeping the car. I wish the 124 especially, and 126 had the 111 style clips and two big screws for the armrest. That was pretty foolproof.

[MBZ] MB to produce another model at Tuscaloosa
Daimler has said that it will further expand its US plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. From 2015, an entirely new - unidentified - Mercedes-Benz model will roll off the production line as its fifth product. The plant has been the traditional production site of the brand's M-, GL-, and R-Class SUVs and will also build the C-Class for the North American market beginning 2014. For the production of the new model, Daimler said it will additionally invest US$ 350 million, and will create some 400 further jobs at the plant. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Daimler Board of Management and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars said: This new model from the Tuscaloosa plant is an important element of our growth strategy. It is one of the ten additional models which we will introduce within the next four years alone across all segments. Referring to the Tuscaloosa plant's role within the global production network of Mercedes-Benz Cars, Zetsche added: At the same time, we are systematically broadening our manufacturing footprint in the NAFTA region. Robert Bentley, Governor of the State of Alabama said: Since the time Mercedes-Benz chose Tuscaloosa County for its first US assembly plant 18 years ago, the company has proven to be an outstanding partner for the state. We join MBUSI in celebrating this milestone, and welcome the hundreds of jobs this announcement brings to Alabama. Earlier this year, on the occasion of the Job #1 ceremony of the new Mercedes-Benz M-Class in July, Daimler announced the decision to invest more than US$2 billion in the Tuscaloosa plant (Mercedes-Benz U.S. International - MBUSI). In total, investment in the plant between 2010 and 2014 will thus amount to US$2.4 billion, while the number of newly created jobs will add up to 1,400. Markus Schaefer, President and CEO of MBUSI, commented on these decisions: The entire MBUSI team is proud of its role in the success of the models made in Tuscaloosa. We are looking forward to making further important contributions to the product offensive of Mercedes-Benz. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] MB to produce another model at Tuscaloosa
relng...@aol.com writes: Daimler has said that it will further expand its US plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. From 2015, an entirely new - unidentified - Mercedes-Benz model will roll off the production line as its fifth product. I wonder if they mean entirely new overall, or just in the USA? I'd like to see the Vito here, the Sprinter is too big for a family van.
