Went out and washed the SL600 this morning and after doing that decided
to see what was going on with the AC not cooling. Dumped a can and a
half of refrigerant in it (after having to use the googs to figure out
where the low side tap was -- hiding under the driver side air box down
low which has to be removed to get at it, things are tight in there) and
lo the AC now BLOWS ICE COLD! Quick and easy once I learned where the
port was. So that is nice when it rains and I have to have the windows
up as I still have not removed the hard top and sorted out the soft
top. I'm going to drive it this afternoon, storms around, so that will
be nice if I have to put the windows up. I'll monitor it, might be some
leaks in the system but for now it is nice and cool on these hot muggy
Lowcountry days and nights.
I also popped on an antenna base cover which I had ordered a coupla
weeks ago. I ordered what I thought was the right thing some time ago
but it turned out to be the conical rubber "grommet" that the antenna
goes through, that mounts in the fender. So that looks nice and took 3
seconds, a huge job!
And who among us does not love the straight up hood feature on Benzes?
