Just sent you write-up of evapectomy on my '87 300D in Jun '08.
I think stealer wanted $2600 (may have been $2300) or so to do it. I'll
try to find it in archives. My local A/C guy wouldn't do it. Parts,
including evaporator, expansion valve, dryer, hoses, vac
actuators/modules, (probably some little stuff I don't remember), etc.,
from Rusty cost about $600.

Thanks to all for answers to my windshield condensation question.
_______________________________________________________________________
Now for another, more serious situation - the A/C in my '91 300D is
not holding a charge very long. I had it filled last year and it
lasted all season but this year it needed another refill but it failed
to last more than a month or so - it's still cool but not cold.
As I understand it, the W124 has a history of leaking in the condenser
(if that's what's under the dash) ;-) so it sounds like the dash must
come out. I could do the dash R&R but the condenser R&R would probably
be beyond my ability. It looks like there are lotsof things that can
leak behind the dash - the evaporatoror the Heat Exchanger and their
related tubing for instance. Looks like the whole dash might need to
come out....
At least my windshield condensation problem will be solved! ;-)
Has anyone tried the *Stop Leak* in a can? Was it successful?
Has anyone had a shop do this work? Any idea what the cost was? I'm
in the greater Richmond Va area and labor prices are not too bad so
far. I'll call my favorite shop Monday and see what they estimate the
cost will be...
Thanks -
