2003 sl500 jack pads

Does ANYONE out there know where to buy new jack pads for 2003 SL500 ???? I can find them everywhere for years up to 2002. They look identical. What's up with the hole diameter?

If you are talking about the hard rubber/plastic plug (approx 2" major Dia) that is attached under the car at the sides (at the jacking points), I just replaced 2 on my 2003 SL55 and the part number is 0029970686 . It is referred to as a "plug" and goes for $7-$10 each

this link is higher priced, but lists the applications

Yes, you are correct about the part # Technically it is referred to as a plug. You will not find this thing under the description of just PLUG. The dealer referred to it as a jack pad. On the schematic it just says PLUG. There are a lot of items called PLUGS on the frame of the car. I spent a couple more dollars. Wish you had of seen the post earlier. Oh yeah, it's 30mm. Different chassis do have different size holes. Crazy stuff....... Thank you for the site info.
