Current window slides are two-piece, also - a rivet and the little piece of plastic on which bottom of window rides.

Also, Replace the power front seats for the less problematic hinged seats from the euro model. Huh? Did any 126, Euro or not, ever come with manual seats? Why are they hinged? Is he talking about flop-forward seats from a coupe?

Current window slides are two-piece, also - a rivet and the little piece of plastic on which bottom of window rides. The rivet is part of the assembly, IIRC it doesn't come out. The two pieces are what it's found in when it's broken! The guy actually sounds pretty reasonable, other than the price. -- Jim ___ 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
