I’m fairly confident working on the engine and chassis, but interior work really frustrates and intimidates me because all of the fasteners are totally hidden. Thanks for providing a “behind-the-scenes” view, and thanks especially for taking the time and effort to make and post a video. Super helpful!
Thanks, I know what you mean about interiors and hidden fasteners! I have videos on the W163 dash removal and steering wheel removal, too, if you ever need that, and a video for repairing the rear window washer check valve (which requires removing an interior panel in the back). Thanks for watching, and good luck! : )
I'm sorry I missed your comment! I'm glad you like the arrows...I like them too, I kinda get carried away with them sometimes though, haha. Thanks for watching! : )
