'83 300SD Missing switch above domelight?

I've been working on getting my '83 300SD back to fighting fit and I'm beginning to move on to cosmetic issues now. One thing that has been driving me nuts is a hole in the headliner, not a cigarette burn, but one that was made into it. It's about an inch square and has has molded, rounded edges. It's about an inch above or aft of the domelight. My SD has a sunroof, but the switch for that is in the cluster above the climate controls. Can anyone tell me what this hole is for?

1987 300SDL Power Seats not moving back and forth

When I operate the seat switches on the doors(driver's and passenger's), only the seat backs will fold forward or backwards. The seat bottoms will not move forward or backwards, but the seat bottoms will move up and down. My 5foot tall wife cannot drive our Mercedes since it is set to my 6 foot height! Benz-aid help needed! Thank you.

616 617 Diesel exhuast manifold nuts

I recently replaced my exhaust manifold on my 617.951 diesel and couldn't find new copper locking nuts anywhere so I reused the old ones with red thread lock. It's been about five months since then and I noticed a little oil around the front of the gasket, I checked the front nut that I can get to and it was loose enough that I could turn it with my fingers.
My question is, where can I find new locking nuts and what is correct torque for these nuts? My Chilton manual said 18-21 ft lbs but that doesn't seem very tight. Thanks for your help

1982 300d Window relay?

I am troubleshooting an intermitent power window issue. Replaced the window switch on the driver's side and seemed to solve the issue. Later all four windows did not work. Tested fuses in fuse box (OK), checked contacts at both driver and passenger switches. Is there a FUSE RELAY or other item I should check before tracing the entire wiring system? I am assuming that such a relay exists...
Many thanks. --- Chris Konik
