Thanks for the replies above. Based on my recent experience, my advice to MB owners is: 1) Use an MB indie specialist. 2) a) If an MB indie specialist is not available, tell the garage to use genuine MB parts or, if not available, Bosch. b) Before paying the invoice, ask the garage to write the...

Canopy door - I have had mine for 25 years and it still works OK. Once the door has been lifted up, the door projects outwards a couple of feet, giving some protection against rain for anything stacked just inside the door. However, there are gaps small enough for mice to sneak in. If I was...
