I need some help trying to source a replacement part, it is the flap, which there are 4 off, on the roof which cover the roof bar fixing points.

One has snapped off, I'm hoping I do not need to buy the whole trim which runs the length of the roof.

Any help much appreciated.

Have you asked Mercedes?

I haven't because I wasn't around when the parts department was open.

PH is normally a font of knowledge and might be a Merc parts specialist

I would ask them, for small parts like that they are normally the best as they tend to have the dissected parts catalogue on screen so will be able to see that flap on its own without having to buy the whole part.

Well I have spoken with a dealer who has informed me the small plastic cover plate cannot be supplied separately, so a new roof trim is £140.

Plan B whatever that is

Yeah, they told me that the parts I needed for the roof weren’t available and I should buy the whole thing. Motors, glass, runners, the lot. Three grand I think.

I bought the 3 rubber seals I needed from the link above and spent $300.

The website says they do not ship internationally

[Mr E]

Ouch. Let me check records of where I ordered from then.

Did you manage to find out where you got yours from?

Apologies for the delay.

So they've either stopped shipping internationally or whoever you spoke to didn't know that they did.
