Fw: [W126 Coupe] removing plastic panels

[Dick Spellman]

> Hi Richard:

> I've attached several photos (separate email to you with 1.5Mb size) of
the side body with panels removed.  As you
> can see there is the horizontal indentation where the chrome trim strip
sits
> plus the exposed edge of the interior door sill plastic.
>
> I'd say the car would look pretty sad without the trim panels.  You can
fix
> the rattle by removing the panel and replacing the rectangular clip nylon
> inserts and bolting it back up.  You may find some of the red round
inserts
> are cracked.  Replace these too.  At most the clips should run $10-12 from
a
> local MB dealer.
>
> If you need instructions on removing the panel and a photo of the clips
that
> will likely need replacing, let me know.
