Where to buy multipurpose tool
I have a question regarding the "all purpose" tool which was referenced in the manual as being in the glove compartment. I recently purchased a used 2007 Roadster from a dealer but I cannot find one or any other tool in the glove compartment or trunk. Would this tool be available at a local auto store or do I need to order it from dealer.
thanks
thanks

Re: Where to buy multipurpose tool
I purchased one from Chrysler, part # 5140795AA As with everything Mercedes its expensive 187.00
It is basically a 10mm Flat wrench 12inches long with a flat screwdriver end. Your manual tells how to use tools other than it.
If it had not been a prepaid order and I saw what ot was I would have not ordered one.

Brought my car home four weeks ago today, just now found mine in THAT VERY POCKET!
(It was in the bag, unopened - just as I would suspect with the guy who owned this car first).

Re: Where to buy multipurpose tool
If you can find a cheapo wrench of these sizes at a auto or bicycle shop you are in business. A 3/8" (.375") wrench could be filed easily to the correct size. Bicycles used to have wrenches like this in a tool kit.
Drivers of convertibles should have one for sure, anyone else can use a screwdriver for the auto transmission release and the front grille removal.

Re: Where to buy multipurpose tool
I have read thru the owner's and navigation manual several times (kept both in my bathroom for almost a MONTH!!) and don't remember reading this.
I DID read about "limp home mode" or something like that, where if the controls fail you will have reverse and 2nd gear only, but didn't see this!

Re: Where to buy multipurpose tool
Bringing this back from the dead!
I was trying to remove my windshield wipers to clean out my clogged washer jets (failed, need a better puller), when I spotted something round under my windshield. I grab a screwdriver and after a few attempts, pry it out. Lo and behold, it's the multi-tool! Just goes to show they can be hidden anywhere, mine just happened to be sandwiched between the dashboard and windshield, looked all over for that damn thing too. Feels good to save $100+ :razz:
