Default New owner of 05 SRT roadster

Hello everyone. I am a new owner of a 05 SRT roadster with 115,000 miles. It was passed down from a relative that could not drive it anymore. It was on the west coast so I flew out to get ti. Before the drive back to the DC area. I did this maintenance:

Full tune up with plugs, wires, and coils.

New belt and pulleys (the belt had slipped off just before I got there)

Oil change

New k&n air filter

Cabin filter

New RCM

Purchased the crankshaft and cam shaft sensors but didn’t install

New fog lamp bulbs

Refinished the yellowing headlights



The drive to the east coast was uneventful from the car’s perspective but it was beautiful.



After returning home I addressed these issues



New top ordered and scheduled for install locally

Replaced one front fender liner

Replaced one jack pad (both had taken a hit from a large pothole)

Replace the stereo with a plug and play cheap Boss unit

New rear tires



Remaining issues

The transmission has two probable small leaks. Took it to a local European car shop that we use. Leaks from the breather valve and pump seal? I am waiting on the detailed write up. Work on trans is where I draw the line for me.



Drivers heated seat not working but I will not repair it



Speakers all around need to be replaced



I think the seat relay needs replacing.



Questions:

It looks like the door card clips tend to need replacing then you remove the door card. What are those parts numbers so I can have them on hand when I replace the door speakers.



Are these any aftermarket subs that work well without a ton of mods?



The crossfire will be a daily driver on a shortish commute.



Thanks in advance for the help!

Steamrunner

Congrats on the car!
You might be able to get the clips from ebay, amazon, etc... or a Mercedes dealer. Tell them it's for a 2003 SLK 320.

First of all, welcome to the Crossfire Forum with the ownership of a Crossfire SRT6 Roadster. Attached is a file related to the SRT6 VIN# database that I would encourage you to respond to in the future.

As related to searching for parts needed for your SRT6, attached is another link for a vendor that has been around this forum for numerous years, supplying dependable parts to all Crossfire owners to this date. Click on the link below for your review. Rob is the owner and responsive to any questions.
