Sagging rear end on 1986 300SDL ??
I realize that rear ends tend to sag with age, but there are relatively simple operations for that problem. With my 300SDL, it seems to be a more difficult problem. I continue to sag even after replacing my differential mount and having OK shocks on the back (i didn't change them, but they only bounce once after compression.) Should i replace them anyway (they probably have not been replaced in a while)? or are there other common wear parts that i have neglected to replace? I would really like to see tops of my rear tires.....Thanks for the help.

1985 300SD Burglar Alarm problem
How do I disconnect, turn off, or otherwise disable the burglar alarm in my 1985 300SD ? I had to go through deep water (8"+) at slow speed. Shortly thereafter, when I turn on the lights at all, the burglar alarm goes off and lights flash. This is embarrassing, at the least, to drive at night, so presently I have just parked it in the garage until I can solve it. I tried the driver door key lock/unlock - no difference. After setting over a week in my garage to dry out completely - no difference. I live in rural N.W. Indiana and there is really no need for the burglar alarm.

83 300SD Window off track
Today I shut the door on my 300SD with the window down for the first time, and wouldn't you know it, now it gets stuck about half way up. I pulled the door assembly off but can not figure out how to get the window back in the track, it is the leading edge (towards the front of the car) that has jumped the track. Does anyone have some advice, or a direction I can look to get my window back where it belongs? Thank you in advance for your attention to my problem.

Early 126 300SD power seat switch replacement
n/a 1983 300SD passenger seat switch, the pin that controls the seat back broke off. The switch is hard wired and can not be removed by unpluging like the drivers switch can. I have opened up and replaced parts in the removable switches, but I am afraid to open this switch because I do not know what will happen when I pop the cover off, as I can not lay it on its back. Any Ideas or help are welcome.

'84 300SD Belt replacement procedure
1984 300SD I recently replaced the alt & water pump. When replacing the new belts I understand there might be a special process to tightening. Is this so or is it like most cars start at the crank and work your way out. I had also replaced the alt adjuster arm. I appreciate your insight.
