Can you post your pic with all the cleaning supplies(brushes and waxes) Can't get the Zymol locally..Does anyone know a 1 stop shop for good deals on Zymol,chamois and all the good stuff you need to keep out trucks clean. My Cypress Green is more work.. like you guys said. I bet cleaning and waxing the roof is not going to be easy..right Raj.
#11 of 8166 Locks by bob259 Dec 03, 2000 (11:30 pm)
kenyee: March of 2000. I don't think it's the same problem, I believe it's because the drivers door lock is either broken or not working. The locks only cycle twice, as if to retry the door. I also noticed this afternoon that I even have to hit the button to or three times to get them to open, even though you see the lights flash and hear a noise from the remote in the rear qtr. It sounds different then it did before, so I assume there maybe more then 1 problem with the door remote system. I'll keep everyone posted on what I find out, when I'm able to get any appointment to get it fixed. After thinking about it for awhile it's still only an annoyance problem and nothing that would be classified as a major mechanical problem.
#12 of 8166 Squeaks & rattles...a fix? by carbon_00 Dec 04, 2000 (1:38 am)
I have 600 miles on my 00 ML430 and after the first bit of hiway driving ( it rocks!!!) I noticed that there is a very prominent and persistent Sqeak and rattle coming from the top of the dash, Its either the front defrost vent or, god forbid, from the seal around the bottom of the windshield. Has anyone else had this, what was the remedy?? Thanks!

carbon 00: If's it's cold where you are it's probably just the dash. Mine does it when it's cold and it's quiet as a church mouse when it gets above freezing.

My MLs first Winter, and I know the squeak you are talking about. It has been discussed here many times. I thought that I was exempt from this problem, but Nope I caught it too. I believe that the cure is to felt the front defroster vent. You can just pop it out. I havent had time to do this myself, but other on the list say it works. Maybe I'll get to it this week, it does get quite annoying and embarassing when people get in the ML. Robert

Here is another explaination from The other list back in April... "There is a bit of a problem that we are seeing with a squeaking in the dash in the MLs. I have spent some time with one of the lead techs and discovered that the problem is the windshield wiper cowling is pressing against the windshield. Our techs solve the problem by putting a rub strip in-between the cowling and the windshield.  The ducts are not the culprit. We have forwarded this information to Mercedes so hopefully they will be able to correct this during production. My ML clients are generally extremely satisfied with the vehicle as a whole. Once the little issues are dealt with there will be many happy years of ownership. Thank you for keeping me up to speed and I look forward to any new information or impressions you can provide.

I have actually centralized 'squeaking' from the interior of my ML. It is acutally the rubber sealers between the door and the door sills. Cuz i actually stuck my fingers between them to replicate it and it is the exact sound it makes when the car expereinces some bending or deflections when say turning up a slope. solution ? um lubricate the rubber ? =)i dunno... dt77
#19 of 8166 Squeaky Cowling?? by carbon_00 Dec 04, 2000 (3:37 am)
Forgive my ignorance...is the wiper cowling under the hood of the truck? Is there a rub strip part part I can order from MB ? Strange that it only happens when its really cold out...it starts squeaking in the front dash area after the heat has been on for about 2 mins... Thanks!
