Methanol was dropped because it attacked so many parts. Ethanol is much less

Hi Alan,
I Googled "Mercedes Patch Panels" and quickly got 10 pages of hits -
there will be lots of companies that get hits by casting a wide net - they
respond to a search for Patch Panels even if they do not sell them - but
once you go thru a 1/2 dozen or so you will see which ones have th
If you feel really brave, take the (new) hood and
fenders and have them prepped and sprayed, then put
them on yourself.
The worst part about front fender R&R is getting the
old seam sealer off, which takes a torch or a couple
of big a** heat lamps.

Well I know if mine came unzipped I would not have the need, ability, or
interest to unzip it again as the necessary means to carry through would
be severely compromised. But, yes, personal responsibility is the key,

Hi Alan,
Along with the option of replacing the fender with new ones is the
