do you think it'd be an onerous job to fit the side curtain restraints into a MY2004 G?
Probably...I am not sure that can be done.

LovinSL600...

i'm not hopeful that it could be done for a reasonable price, or done at all.

Just get a 2005 model...

The 2005 G-class has head protection curtains, the G55 has a supercharger and improved ride and handling, and the remaining cars being produced until the end of the year will be special "Grand Edition" cars with special badging and exclusive color choices. These last of the production run cars will probably be somewhat more desirable due to their exclusivity. And the 2005 G55 happens to (currently) be the most powerful and quickest production SUV.

The 05 G still has the cd rom nav though. I guess they didn't want to mess with the dash on the last year of production.
