SL60 AMG - do you have any videos/information showing how to remove/replace the wood trim on the doors? Is it any easy job?
I am thinking of having all my wood reveneered in black, but will need to remove and replace the parts myself.....

Here is the picture of my door (from outside and inside (from 3 pictures)) and the clip.

Videos are great!
Is there such a video to show me how to replace the bulbs for the temp display and speedometer in my 2001 SL500. The dealer wants $250. Sounds outrageous.
Thanks,

As for the temp display, it is removed very easily with a flat tool just to release the internal clips. Once you have it out (2mins) it is just 1 tiny bulb.
As for the cluster, it should take you about 5 - 10 mins), here is a video link:

The bulbs are just twist plugs located at the bottom of the rear of the display cluster.

Thank you so much for the video. I plan to try on my own. One concern however I picked up from other posts. I need to be careful not to marr the surround? How do I avoid that? Perhaps if there is a possibility of damaging something else due to lack of experience perhaps I should give in to the dealership rates?
