[MBZ] 190e dash vents

2010-01-02 Thread Jim Arnott
that won't close. Which is kinda a problem when it's 20 deg F outside. The levers that are supposed to close them do nothing. Any suggestions for repair without removing the dash? Does anyone have a scan of the parts book that will show me the relevant pieces? As always, thanks in adv

Good plan. Looks like the center vents just snap in. http://img.eautopartscatalog.com/hires/W01331632931OES.JPG?width=300&height=300 Pop 'em out and maybe I can see what's going on. This looks a little more challenging: http://img.eautopartscatalog.com/hires/W01331623053OES.JPG?width=300&height

once you're in there you'll see whats wrong. IIRC the lever is attached to the flap by an allen head bolt which may have loosened over time. HTH -Curt Date: Sat, 2 Jan 2010 18:11:37 -0800 From: Jim Arnott To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] 190e dash vents Message-ID: <45ddc

Ya, they're all borked. Kaleb is sending a replacement center section. The others don't really matter much this time of year. I pulled the center vents out and got the doors closed so at least there's no 20 deg gale through the car now. Thanks for your help. Jim On Jan 3, 2010, at 3:51
