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?

if you want to replace it, there is a source for a burlwood =

though.
I have asked them for installation instructions on this, to see =
just how involved this is going to get.=20
Here's the link for the burlwood version.

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??? =20

The map lights work fine.
I have noticed that the paint, or outer layer of plastic is =
real soft,=20
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.
