Anybody ever re-cover that piece of foam or cardboard above the sun visors? The mbtex on mine is flapping in the breeze on one side, but I have not looked into removing the formed foam backing. It appears to be in good shape depite having some sort of water leak up there.
Sun visor clip gave out recently on one side also, so it is probably tine to tackle it.

I don’t really have a lot to do with the 300SEL until I start getting some parts. Since it’s a nice sunny Florida day, I slathered the front seats with some Leatherique and will let it bake. I might drain and refill the power steering system since I have everything I need for that. I’ve cleaned the PS cooler that runs in front of the radiator so I can watch it to see if it does have a leak. Quite honestly I don’t think it does - the junction where the hoses connect to it look like they’ve been seeping for a long time, and I’m wondering if it’s possible that the fluid has just been creeping down the lines. The connection is really buried on the left front inner fender and the clamp screws are turned towards the top, so I’ll see if I can get in there and tighten them up, maybe. After the Leatherique has done its thing I might do some more interior cleaning. The dash is in great condition, but the driver and passenger doors look sort of yellowed. I’m not sure if this is just aging or maybe the car had a smoker in the past. If it did there’s not evidence of it that I can find. Washed the SL500 as it needed it. Gotta run the sweeper in the interior and it will be good for a couple of weeks. Going to do an inventory of future work so I can plan accordingly. -D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
