Andrew, it seems that Mercedes went to rivets on window regulators in the late 90s. I know that W220 and W211 chassis cars use rivets as well. Probably cheaper to use and easier in production. The regulators aren’t nearly as substantial as in previous models, either. At least not in the W220s.

From the movies I've watched, the passenger can easily attempt to strangle the driver - hence the need for the driver to be prepared to defend himself. On Thu, Jan 23, 2020 at 10:55 AM Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > So I guess the passenger was carrying some

Re: [MBZ] OT Mitch can pick up a Cruze cheap
