Hi, As Jack, I am also experiencing a "half" miss in my '90 560. My MBZ 
indy shop has checked it out, used some injector cleaner but only can 
suggest a bad or going bad injector or a fuel distributor that is 
leaking slightly. The car runs out very well but this slight skip is 
annoying. When the climate control is engaged is less noticeable. My '90 
has 72K miles.

 I have looked at used and tested fuel distributors on e bay anywhere 
from $129 to $250 with no warranty and $250 with a 30 day warranty. I 
know that purchased  new, it's about $2300 but I don't want to throw 
away $250 + frt.+ install for a hunk of junk. Has anyone had experience 
with these e bayers that offer these fuel distributors from time to 
time? There are three or four available now for the 500 and 560s.

Any other tips on this skip will be much appreciated from this reader as 
well.

One last request, does anyone have the following two pieces of window 
seals? (I learned the technical terms today) a driver's side* rear 
window sealing rail *and *sealing frame* available that is left over or 
in the case of the outside sealing rail,  good pliable used one?  Mine 
tore just at the point where the rear window emerges from the window 
cavity. For clarity, the o.s.r. is the horizontal rubber piece that is 
outside the window held in place by the chrome strip and the sealing 
frame is the rubber and felt piece on the leading edge of the rear 
window. Both on drivers side. The suppliers want just over $200 + frt. 
for both pieces and I'd like to save some bucks if I can.

Thanks
