Thanks Corey the video helps immensely. Jerbear, that you for the pic.
So I know for the future, how do I remove the armrests? Pry them up? Is there a spring clip underneath?
Thanks for the info guys. I should have clarified. I’m just de-stickying with makeup wipes, so the parts are all staying in place and not being...
I need to remove mine to de-sticky the inner door handle and lock button. The door handle pull looks like it’s attached with two Allen bolts into...
Gearbox oil change every year? What, with 1000-2000 miles on that oil? Way overkill, it must have looked brand new coming out of the drain hole.
Some Meguiars Plastic Polish will remove the scuffs in your rear window since they are very minimal now.
How about a gated 355? It would be way different than what you have. I’ve got a 430 and have been looking at going backwards and into a 355.
Another vote for a new battery. Do you have a battery tender? You’ll need to keep it hooked up when you’re not driving it.
My wife just had her MB SL55, PPF’d and ceramic coated. She tipped the two guys $100 each.
My 2009 has been hooked up to a tender for the last 3 years. The only time it hasn’t been, is when I’m driving it. I’ve got 10 toys hooked up to...
While perusing the internet for info on my wife’s new SL55, I saw a post on front plate mounts. Google search Cravenspeed, then Platypus license...

R2 in Castaic is in their new shop. The owner, Rafi, was a factory mechanic before he opened his own shop.
There is no central point to jack up the 430, either in the rear or on the front. You have to do one side at a time. I lift mine in stages,...
Just trying to clarify as I have a 2009 car, and it will help the OP also. “Large flat washers” on the outside of the metal frame ears, or on...
Another vote for what Rifledriver said. Make sure the bolt is torqued to what it should be and the boogered up holes won’t be a problem. You...
Just a heads up for those guys that are idling their engines for a long time and not staying with the car while it’s idling. My local...
45-50* ambient temperature is quite cold. It might be normal for your car to take a long time to warm up in those temps. I wouldn’t start...
I read one of your other posts and saw you’re using a Motiv. That should be bleeding the brake lines without needing to do anything else....
What are you using to bleed the brakes? A pressure bleeder or something else?
