A friend of mine bought some kind of black 'foam' stuff 1/4 or 1/16 inch thick from home depot and glued the fins and the handle from the old cover to it. Looked pretty nice.
Hmm... I wonder if my rear shocks are in need of replacement at 140k
They feel solid going over speed bumps at parking lots though...
I think "sport" is the faux-leather version. If you have a wooden one, it would be the $182 one. I'd try to recover the current cover (pun intended)

If that doesn't work, well... I guess the cupholders will always be out.

Good news. Not only did I fix the door, but I fixed my cupholder too. I took enough pictures to make a DIY thread which I'll post tonight.
Thanks to anyone who helped me with anything. Car is basically like new...except for a ton of scratches on the doors and sagging headliner.

That's exactly what I needed to see. Doesn't look as hard as I imagined. But I bet that door is expensive...need to go to mymercedesparts and hope I don't have to order from dealer.
The transmission was slightly smoother. There was only a small leak so the gasket was replaced along with the fluid, Noticable difference but only slight.
As the ride quality- yes, it feels tremendously different
I can't believe I didn't notice the shocks were screwed. I feel stupid after feeling the difference today.

Along with my Service B, I had my transmission fluid flushed and a new gasket, brake fluid flushed, and new rear shocks.
