1983 300SD Rear Windshield Size Different From 1985 300SD ?
I wanted to replace the rear windhshield in my 1983 300SD with a better one which came out of a 1985 300SD. I purchased the new seal made by Meyle from Mercedessource. The auto glass place was not able to install it because the 1985 glass is about 1" longer than the old one out of the 1983. Both cars are W126 models. Is there a series of years which will fit one but not the other? Is it possible to buy a new glass at a reasonable price? If yes where?
Thank you

86 SDL TURBO My Rears are better but now I have a water problem!
OK I fixed my rear suspension with help from here
and I fixed my seat for my rear with the seat fixer from here.
Great instructions and as Kent says "try the seat before installing"
Trully a HUGE differance....
But (no joke intended)
I discovered that the carpet was soaking wet at the two fastening points
at the back of the seat.
We had some rain so I thought that was the issue.
Dried everything and reinstalled the seat
(make sure you put the plastic trim on 1st)
Drove around and guess what ?
It was wet again!!!

85 300TD fuel sending unit removal
My fuel gauge does not work. It used to read about 1/4, but now doesn't read at all. I read a post here about cleaning the sending unit, but cannot find it. Is there a diagram available of the wiring for the unit? What do I have to remove to get to it on an 85 300TD with a rear seat?

84 500 SEL slow engine start-up
n/a
My engine cranks for 8 - 10+ seconds before s-l-o-o-w-l-y catching on. Then it sputters for several seconds until I give it some gas to clear it out. I got this car 2 weeks ago and the previous owner said, "do not touch the accelerator pedal until it starts." It seems like it's flooding. This happens when hot,or cold. He also said to change the plugs and it would run well.
Runs fine on highway but seems to eat lots of gas (14 mpg?). 211,680 miles on Od. Original paint and leather in very good condition.
