Tony has been very helpful with this and spent about half an hour on fixing/reattaching the pin with a mirror. also Tony seems to know the crossfires very well from my conversation with him.

I never had the chance to talk to Tony. My experiance was with the service writer. The one thing I have discovered in owning this car is that it's actualy cheaper to get parts from Mercedes than Chrysler. I looked at prices at autohausaz.com and they list, for example, an MAF for both an SLK320 and a Crossfire. The MAF is more expensive for the Crossfire but the part number on the Mercedes part matches the MAF on my Crossfire. Anyhow Tony probably does know his stuff but as a customer you have to deal with the bureaucracy of the Barnett dealership, not the mechanics. I guess I got turned off when they quoted me a price of well over $600 for a part I know can be had new from Bosch for about $170.
