still produces wind noise at highway speeds. It’s not loud or bad, just

headliner, which isn’t a big deal, but….

The 2008 plastic is brittle so this time both of the front retaining spring 
mounting tabs broke off, dang it. What was weird was that since they broke off, 
when I tried putting it back in place it wouldn’t stay up in the headliner, but 
a cursory inspection didn’t show that anything was missing. Grrr. To add insult 
to injury, while trying to pry it out I stuck a finger through the little 
plastic grille molded into one side of the assembly.

I found the bits from one of the retaining spring mounts, so that’s currently 
taped in place with a goodly amount of JB weld slathered on it. I’ll probably 
go back and put something on the back of the plastic to reinforce it once it’s 
set up and secured. At least this way I can have the thing stay in place until 
I get a replacement. Thank goodness there are a bunch of them on eBay for 
around $100, which is a deal considering that a new one is upwards of $600, 
even from Covington.

Someone was messing with the covers and stuff around the rear view mirror at 
some point in the past, as the plastic covers that extend out from the dome 
light assembly to the rear view mirror are pretty much either missing or in 
pieces. Granted, they’re exposed to the sun where they’re located, so it’s not 
surprising that just touching them causes them to shatter in a million pieces. 
Expecting this, I have new replacements on the shelf. Since I’ve got a 
headliner replacement in the near future I was sure these would get destroyed 
in the process of removal.

So I found a decent replacement on eBay with all the clips intact and in good 
cosmetic shape that I’ve made an offer on. We’ll see what comes of that.

In the meantime I’ll do my best to make do with what I’ve got so I have dome 
lights.

Maybe I should stop while I’m ahead…

Re: [MBZ] Bullseye

That happened a few years ago here during Dorian. We were forecasted to get 
10-12ft surge (which would have put charleston under about that much water) but 
the storm veered offshore. I rode my bike to the beach and the water was way 
out, even at a high tide, lower than low tide. It was really weird. I think the 
storm was 20-30mi directly offshore at that point and it was sunny a bit to 
north.  It was really weird.

[MBZ] No Hurricane Stuff! Actual Mercedes Content!

Because I’m stuck inside with little or nothing to do, I have been messing with 
the sunroof on the ML550 in an attempt to get it adjusted so it doesn’t make 
any wind noise. And yes, I’ve looked up the adjustment procedure in the WIS, 
but setting it up the way they say with 1 mm projecting up on the trailing edge 
still produces wind noise at highway speeds. It’s not loud or bad, just 
annoying (to me). This requires removal of the dome light assembly from the 
headliner, which isn’t a big deal, but….

The 2008 plastic is brittle so this time both of the front retaining spring 
mounting tabs broke off, dang it. What was weird was that since they broke off, 
when I tried putting it back in place it wouldn’t stay up in the headliner, but 
a cursory inspection didn’t show that anything was missing. Grrr. To add insult 
to injury, while trying to pry it out I stuck a finger through the little 
plastic grille molded into one side of the assembly.

I found the bits from one of the retaining spring mounts, so that’s currently 
taped in place with a goodly amount of JB weld slathered on it. I’ll probably 
go back and put something on the back of the plastic to reinforce it once it’s 
set up and secured. At least this way I can have the thing stay in place until 
I get a replacement. Thank goodness there are a bunch of them on eBay for 
around $100, which is a deal considering that a new one is upwards of $600,

Most of those folks aren’t there. They’re seasonal residents who come down in 
the winter.

Granted, a few might have property managers that would take care of this, but 
I’m betting a lot don’t. The property managers I worked with down there and on 
Longboat Key, a similar enclave off the coast of Sarasota, wouldn’t have 
anything to do with car maintenance or upkeep. I know because I asked some of 
them…

Re: [MBZ] Bullseye 2PM update

I just looked at the Poos weather station and unless it has been blown away is 
showing a balmy spring day. But seems not quite to be the case

...IAN CAUSING CATASTROPHIC STORM SURGE, WINDS, AND FLOODING IN THE FLORIDA 
PENINSULA...

At 200 PM EDT (1800 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Ian was located by an  Air Force 
Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft and Tampa radar data about 50 miles 
south-southwest of Punta Gorda, Florida. Ian is moving toward the 
north-northeast near 9 mph (15 km/h). This general motion with a reduction in 
forward speed is forecast today, followed by a turn toward the northeast on 
Thursday. On the forecast track, the center of Ian is expected to move onshore 
soon, move over central Florida tonight and Thursday morning and emerge over 
the western Atlantic by late Thursday.  Ian is forecast to turn northward on 
Friday and approach the northeastern Florida coast in addition to the Georgia 
and South Carolina coasts late Friday.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 155 mph (250 km/h) with higher gusts.  Ian 
is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.  Ian is 
forecast to make landfall on the west
coast of Florida as a catastrophic hurricane soon.  Weakening is  expected 
after landfall, but Ian could be near hurricane strength when it moves over the 
Florida East coast tomorrow, and when it approaches the northeastern Florida, 
Georgia and South Carolina coasts late Friday.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center and 
tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km).  A River, 
Estuary, and Coastal Network station at  Redfish Pass, Florida, recently 
reported sustained winds of 94 mph  (151 km/h) and a wind gust of 126 mph (203 
km/h).

The minimum central pressure is 937 mb (27.67 inches) based on Air Force 
Reserve dropsonde data.

Visit the National Hurricane Center website at hurricanes.gov for additional 
forecast information on Ian.

The next complete advisory will be at 5:00 PM EDT.

MIL in staying with us since she lives just off the coast in Pasco County to 
the north. Just walked through the family room where she was watching the 
Weather Channel live from Naples. Some major league flooding going on there.

Re: [MBZ] Bullseye

I got both of mine from Amazon, a Chinese vendor, I suspect:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09W89SLMG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I chose this one mainly due to the size of the display. It hasn’t been
available for several months, and now I see that it’s out of stock. I’ve been
quite pleased with both. The one at the FL house had a failed solar panel after
about two months of use which affected the solar radiation reporting, and when
I contacted the vendor they immediately replaced the unit. They were very
responsive and made the process easy.

There were some reviews about difficulty setting it up with online services,
but I attribute that to operator error. I didn’t have any problem.

If you go sub-$200 there are lots to choose from. I’m not hard core about
accuracy or add-on stuff, I just wanted basic information. This one served the
purpose for me. If there was a gripe it would be that it only shows rainfall
rate, but in the online data cumulative rainfall is shown, so the information
is there.

[MBZ] 2007 E350 4Matic - 139k miles - $4,300

Needs upper ball joints. How big a job is that? Looks nice otherwise, realtor 
colors notwithstanding.

Based on the VIN given, engine number is 272972 30 524920 which should be a 
good one, according to Mercedes Medic site.
