Thanks to eddy In Lake Forest, Ca. for the Smart Top install. It was successful on the first attempt! My future son-in-law, David, was also a great help. It took about an hour and a half. It works great. Rode home with the top down. Its good to live in
David did most of the work. I just worked on removing the CANBUS cover and doing the connections to draw power from the dashboard fuse box. Thanks also to DansSLK for the OEM fuse holder and contact spring (makes the install look OEM and stealthy to the untrained eye, we used fuse position #42).
Half of the time we were chit-chatting Morever, many thanks for the Cabernet Sauvignon. I promise to drive first and drink later when I'm home :biglaugh:
Eddy is definitely an ambassador here at SLKWorld. He sent me a modified R170 antennae (bought and paid for at dealership and modified by him) before I was able to send him a check for the item. Talk about good-faith!
We can all just hope he keeps his SLK before we give our up.
The Smart Top module is "THE" coolest mod on an SLK. If you can only do one mod, pick the ST.
I think my neighbors have had enough of my showing it off!
Thanks to DJ that is.....Atlanta's own "Mod King":hail:
:tu:I agree, Eddy has provided more one on one assistance than anyone. He's a big help to those in need. Many others here have provided their share of assistance. Thanks to everyone!
This is why SLKworld is such a great place. We have people like Eddy and Dan amongst the ranks who will go out of their way to help another fellow SLK enthusiast out.
Eddy also installed my ST for me back in 08 and props as I use it almost everyday weather permitting!
Add my name to the list of those helped by Eddy, shorty antenna and smart top. He truly has earned his moniker as the site's Ambassador of Goodwill. :tu:
Thanks again ETYU Eddy for installing our SmartTop for the SLK 55 car we bought in March 2014.
