W116, Body and Interior Specific Aid

1971, 280SE 3.5 Coupe, Interior Wood Trim Removal

How to remove the interior wood trim under the windshield (on the dash)?
1. Is it clipped? How do the clips look like?
2. Do I destroy them during removal and need new ones?
3. Are special tools needed? I have a set of plastic tools, which I used for removing the aluminum trim outside.
4. Is the method the same for all MB's between 1962 - 1972, which had these trims (108,109,110,111,112)?
Thanks

Rear window regulator

Trying to replace the regulator slide on a 83' 126. I have everything off and the regulator is unbolted and loose, but I can't seem to fiqure out how to disconnect the wireing. It seems to be hard wired into the regulator and unhooking the switch still leaves wires connected. Please help, before I start splicing.

Thanks again for the help!!!!

1983 300D electronic speedometer conversion?

I replaced a failing differential in a 1983 300D which had a 3.07/1 final drive ratio with a w126 differential with a 2.47/1 final drive ratio. RUNS GREAT!!! Of course, what the tranny-driven mechanical speedometer-odometer now registers is about 80% of what the actual speed and mileage are. I would like the instruments to reflect actual speed and mileage.

In the original vehicle, an electrical speed sensing unit on the differential connects to the instrument cluster.
