Any tips on this car...thanks for the info.... mark k. 6/8/01

These are not that hard to do once you have done one! Side moldings have three t-15 screws under the rubber gasket that the center pulls out to expose the screws, top molding is in with reg. Benz clips/the wiper nuts stay on the arms when loosened/the cowl is attached to the retainer supplied on the glass/the heater wires go under the cowl save the twist on connector that holds the lead to the looking into the conn. You will see a little clip that slide over the lower part of the plug will then come off and needs to be used on the new lead/sounds harder than it really is!!

Make sure someone helps you set the glass it is heavy and has no stops if it slips down and you raise it back up to proper level the urethane will cover the VIN # it cuts out easily top and two sides w/cold knife I use EQ along the bottom! 

The rain sensors hook up easily if you take the rearview mirror down it comes off just like all other S-class mirrors prior to the new style S-class Rick L

The sides are the only area that may give you trouble if you have never done one of these. The out side pillar moldings have a plug in the fender that pulls out and the lower plastic in the molding slides up and releases the bottom of the molding. Once released the bottom part of the molding pulls out and has rivets at the top that release by sliding down on the molding. The upper is friction clips that release with a panel tool. Take the bottom apart and loosen and remove the wiper, it's not that complicated. Trap door stops and an easy remove. Watch the inside moldings as the sides are against the glass.

If you are familiar with M-B's it's not hard. I don't know about high mod on this one but I've never had a complaint with U418.  BG
