I have a 1991 300E. I just recently purchased this car from a lady, and it needs lots of minor TLC.
Right now I am trying to figure out the horn. I have looked in both of the manuals I purchased for the car online and there is no information on the horns.
I did see some information that suggested you replace them, and silly me I did just that. Also cleaned up the area where they bolt to the frame in front of the radiator. Cleaned the wires up. But no sound comes forth.
When I turn the light switch to the right to either park or full head lamps, the exterior lamp out warning lights. Also, the brake lights fail to come on when pressing the brake pedal. I replaced all three brake lamps with new lamps with no success. Might this be a brake switch problem? If so, how do I test it?
Driver's window works fine except that when reaching the closed position the motor keeps going until you let off the switch. Do I need a new window regulator or some other part? I've already purchased the 201 Door Maintenance and Repair guide, but don't see mention of this issue. Thanks for any assistance you can provide...
I R&R'd a new sunroof (Tilting)Weatherstrip.
Pretty much straight forward.......except
1: Found 2 rivets loose on back hold down bracket.
short of removing panels(trying to avoid)
any tricks to fixing? I tried a pair of needle nose vice grips, no go
2:The new strip prevents the roof from closing like the old one!
Should I "grease" it with something? If so what?
Thanks
removed functioning instrument cluster in 85 300SD to replace ignition,
when instrument cluster was replaced the temperature gauge doesn't register accurate - it jumps immediately to maximum heat. Also suspicious that fuel
gauge is registering incorrectly. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Karl Stier
Is the sunroof panel from a 1984 300 TD wagon interchangeable with any other 123 models of that era?
I am rebulding a sunroof from a 1984 wagon and need to know about availability of the white plastic glides/guides for the rear of the sunroof. They clip onto a bracket at each rear corner of the sunroof. Alternatively, can I use the felt glides that fit the front corners?
thanks for your help!
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
