Re: [MBZ] MB Window Weatherstripping
You wrote I believe either of the list purveyors of parts can get dealer parts at better than dealer prices The common practice is for someone to visit Europe and the OEM suppliers. They will sell you anything you want and nearly all come with the MB parts sticker on them. Put together a container sized order (or several and ship it here, mark the prices up to cover overhead profit, advertise and you're in the MB parts business. The power of bulk pricing comes in and prices fall. Naturally, there's risk involved... LarryT 91 300D OilAnalysis Time?

well used parts I suppose, but you are right, anything I have would probably be in the same shape, but you are more than welcome to look around next time you are around.

The weatherstrip/deal on the outside of the windows on the son's '84 190Ds (two of them) are rotted, rusted, etc. MB wants $57 ea. for these strips.
