Decisions & Unknowns
What I need to figure out:
•
SEW trim black or ultra (what’s better for Mercedes) - order SEM trim black ultra satin
•
What primer to order?
•
how to adjust HVAC button placements
•
if I should order new HVAC due to electrical ground short
•
Restore yellowing on buttons
•
Email radio company and see if Grand Prix will work on my 86 model yet
•
Retro Grand Prix fits, but bad reviews. Reassess what I want. They responded and the faceplate would be the only issue and they could warranty that. Would want the most expensive as that has a software that goes with it.
