Use it, and if you need the hole, you can probably cut it and use the hole
cover/grommet from the old one.

I am not concerned with how long it lasts. It is way better than what I
have and I already own it. It will look better than what is there.

The hole for the AC temp sensor in the middle of the dash. This can be
gotten around I am sure although I would really look for the facelift
version, it *should* last longer.

Rolf,
What hole is it missing? The dash in my 83 is cracked bad, the 78 is not
cracked at all. I don't think the texture really matters to me. I
thought
they looked the same.
Thanks, Mike

Stop!!!! It wont fit. It is missing the hole in the dash. It is also a
different texture AND the earlier styles are more prone to cracking.

Thanks to everyone. As long as the weather is nice out I am going to
give
it a shot in the morning. Looks pretty easy really. The CD has a great
dash with near perfect burlwood trim. Finding matching burlwood pieces
for
the center console and heater control should be fun........
Started changing the 300D over to the H4 Euro headlights today as
well.
I
found the plugs are different. Does anyone know if I can just swap out
plugs from car to car or if there is anything else that goes with the
Euro
lights(relays or the like) that might make the swap harder than it
looks?
Thanks, Mike

I like the puller too - usually simple, fast and easy, but removing

factory glue that had squeezed out between the cluster and the dash
and
didn't want to release its hold without a fight. With skill and
cunning,
though, I got it out, anyway - I don't give up easily. Other clusters
I've
removed (my 2 123's, my 124 and, now, my 124) come out very nicely

the
coathanger puller. I don't like getting into the footwell, either -
much
rather sit up comfortably in the seat.

That works, too. I just found this a bit easier to use if you didn't
want
to
have to pull the bolster. I hate having to get down in the
footwell...
and
I
have come across a few clusters that would not come out easily, too.

That said, I have never needed to use a tool to get the instrument
cluster out. All I have ever done is to remove the panel below the
dash
and push the cluster frontwards from the rear.
