[W126 Coupe] Temp Sensor Placement & Headliner Tips

[Richard Hallberg]

Tom,

On my '91 560 SEC (US), the temp sensor comes through the lower vents in 
the center of the front bumper and is attached behind the license 
bracket and I think its ugly, there.  I have been considering attaching 
it behind the bumper vents as far away from the radiator and the roadway 
as feasible and see how it performs.

I have not had to clean my headliner, but I will before I reattach it.  
There has been some discussion recently on the BenzWorld.com w126 forum 
concerning headliner refitting and there was a comment that care must be 
taken to use mild cleaner with a minimum of rubbing to prevent damage to 
the support foam under the fabric and to avoid fuzzing the fabric.

I think I found a link on mbcoupes  to Chet Hwilka's excellent photo 
description of the headliner recovering process.  Another discussion 
advised using 3M Hi-Tack 76 spray adhesive as it is for high temperature 
applications and works on headliners where other spray adhesives fail 
relative quickly due to the heat on the roof.
