Re: [MBZ] sunroof tools and other items.

I am still getting a low frequency rattle.  It occurs only between 700
and 1000 rpm.  I did replace the a/c clutch which had a
bad bearing.  At that time I discovered a leak from the tandem 
hydraulic

pump. All of that is in order and functioning very well.


Check belt tensioner, and the attachment of the crank pulley.
We have had both failures on our SDL.

 Dave,
 
 Thanks for the hint regarding the sunroof tools.  I'm planing on having
 the car painted.  Some months ago I posted  the status of my 350SDL
 after an encounter with a discharge of sulfur dioxide.  The refinery
 actually paid in full.  Any hints on getting a good paint job will be
 appreciated.

Drive it to Mexico and find somebody who will put $600 worth of material
on it for $1000-1500? Sell the 350, and use the proceeds plus the
settlement check to buy a really cherry 300SDL?

Mitch, he has a brand new factory crate motor in that car... no more
flexi-rods. Pretty sure he'll be keeping it. My sunroof repair skills
are strictly 124 related - no idea what a 126 is like!
