I just bought an 87 SDL that looks like it has been parked in the sun
for the last 10 years. The foam in the headrests is disintegrating.
I'm trying to figure out how to remove the leather cover - there looks
to be a seam along the bottom that is not stitched. Anyone know how I
get it to let go?

Thanks

Yes - the sunroof fuse on the 240D is particularly irritating - not made for
normal sized fingers due to its position. It's quite a jam. Figure I'd

Just did 32 fuse replacements in the SL and found a plastic tool at
the parts store made for that purpose.

Snap, crackle and pop if your pliers slip!
