Sears has the slotted screwdriver (largest ?#12). But you can also grind a slot in an existing old big screwdriver, or I have even taped two small drivers off center a bit. Lot of ways to skin a rabbit on this one.

--I just learned some stuff about door panels. On both my 240's the inside door opener has broke. Lucky I've got two parts cars. So today as I was taking off the inside door panel, popping out the plastic rivets, I noticed when I got over to where the front(toward the front of the car) of the plastic door pocket, it was real hard to pop that one. Well there was a snap and then I heard something fall inside of the door. When I got the panel off I found out that one is not a rivet at all but the inside of the door pocket that slides into a space, that should of just been lifted up and out of the hole. O gee. When I got up to my two parts car, both of them were broken too. It's the kind of deal where if you don't know, you learn by breaking the part. At least I was not the only guy to break one. I was able to fix mine with a sheetrock screw and a beadboard foam washer screwed in from the backside. Also at the same time my glovebox door would not stay shut so I've taken that out and have discovered I need a slotted screwdriver sort of tool to get the door apart.Never seen one of those . Mercedes comes up with some interesting stuff. Hey Rob , you ever heard of a car club in Garden Grove called the relics?Max
