Headlight install HELPP!!!!
So I just got my W211 last week and I decided to go with the HID upgrade MOD... I'm doing just as told on the DIY Thread with the HID and I messed up on one part with removing the Coolant Reservior...
On the drivers side there is a small screw that holds the coolant reservoir in. Be careful removing it because it will disappear if you let it.
I was as careful as possible and I still manage to not only Rip the head off the screw but also loose it in the engine bay.(obviously I found it because I know that I ripped the head off)
But does anyone have a part number to this retaining screw? Can this be bought at an Autozone or some sort???
I hate having the coolant reservoir zip tied on there wobbling around...

On my '06 the screw is made of plastic. Go to the dealer and ask for one. The size/type is used other places throughout the car and it shouldn't cost you more then $1. They might even be nice and give it to you. Not a big deal....

just went to autozone and they had something similar to it that works...
does anyone know if there were rubber grommets at the bottom of the coolant reservior?

There is. You have to press the reservior down into the grommet for a tight fit. If there is no grommet the reservior is able to move a little in the metal bracket. Again this compareing to an '06 E.

seems like I misplaced them... Is MB services the only place to get them?
