Larry - just be careful with the windshield mirror mount - you don't want to
break the glass in the event the glue is holding it on too well. A good
glass shop should be able to give you some hints.
As for the wood trim, Drew Tibcken (Heritage Woodwoks) is the expert as far
as I'm concerned. I also have a hairline crack on my '90 300D console wood
which he looked at while we were at Startech. Essentially, you have to take
out the ash tray and sequentially work back to remove the wood. If I recall
correctly, all the switches mount from the rear, not as easy to fool with as
a 126!

Subject: [MBZ] Mats, Mirror & Owners Manual for my 91 300D
Stopped in at the dealership to check out their mats - bought a 4 pc set
of
rubber mats with circles on it for $72 and a Owners Manual for $10. Much
better than the $30-$40 most vendors are selling them for!
Hmm... maybe I should buy a bunch and start selling them? ;-)
Ordered some maintanence stuff from Rusty also - I ordered a new inside
rear
view mirror and now I'm wondering how to get the old one off? Does it
just
pop out of the ball socket swivel joint? And then pop the new one in?
The
old one is damaged - the plastic frams is broken with the night/day switch
missing.
Also ordered a new right hand mirror adjusting switch from Rusty - I
assume
I can pry it out and unplug it, then plug the new one it?
The wood on the console around the gear shift and window switches has a
small crack in it - how hard are they to change out? Haven't found one
yet - thought I;d try Potomac Recyclers. Unless someone has a spare
around
they'd like to sell?
It just has the 4 openings for the window switchs, the lockout and fader
for
the speakers -- I've never had much luck trying to repair them.
Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 91 300D Turbo)
