Cliff ,
I am in the millitary so I got this message late. I tried to get this
cover for my 91 SL 500 but it was not in stock. I have a fused gear shift
knob i also want to replace. I want to find out about the brake pads but I
got confused with all the talk. (smille) Someone help. Also My Cruise
Control went out. I was told I need two parts which are extremely
expensive. Any suggestions. I remember one being a Cruise control
modulator. Did you get anyone else who wanted to buy the cover for the map
light?

OK,
if you want to replace it, there is a source for a burlwood cover at
performance products. If you put in 500sl, it will not come up though.
I have asked them for installation instructions on this, to see just
how involved this is going to get.
Here's the link for the burlwood version.
http://www.performanceproducts.com/ProductPage.aspx?ProductName=Overhead+Map
+Light+Cover+(W129)&productid=109275&producttype=20
If we have enough interest, perhaps we can get a quantity discount
with a single order.

Hey Guys I have the same problem!!!!! The paint, or outer layer of
plastic is horrible!! I also have what seems to be a short. I guess I must
replace the whole assembly. I even thought of covering it with some factory
matched burrolwood. Any Ideas???

The map lights work fine.
I have noticed that the paint, or outer layer of plastic is real
soft,
I thought that maybe this was due to someone trying to clean it
with a chemical that softened the paint. Others have said that
it is a reaction to exposure to the sun, or heat. Either way, it
has to
come off, and get refinished, or replaced.
So, how do I remove this shell, so that I can do something with
it?
I have found the 2 screws under the map lamp assemblies, but there
are more holding that unit under the windshield frame that I
cannot find.
Do I have to remove the rear view mirror as well?
TIA.
