Undoing "Improvements"

Today went to the Benz shop to have the aftermarket alarm ripped out.

Without the panels, this is how the driver's footwell looked before.

This is how it looks now.

As I suspected, I now haven't experienced the problem with the central locking.

While I was there, I had the driver's side door realigned. Now it closes perfectly, with no effort necessary. Next Wednesday I'm going in to have the window realigned, too. That should quieten down the interior and make the door close as perfectly with the window up as it does with it down.
