You want to file the detents or depressions in order to once again allow the pin to nestle in place without popping out.

The difference between stays in the detent now and won't come out of the detent now is only a stroke or two of the file. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to 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
