Spring has finally arrived, bringing with it some of the best driving weather of the year! For those of us with convertibles—like my 1978 450SL and 2007 CLK 63—this is the season we’ve been waiting for.

Sometimes it costs a lot and inconveniences your friends and relatives too. Sometimes it even causes you to waste your most precious commodity, time. I did this; I thank the folks that helped me get through the predicament I created, and I will now confess how I screwed it...
