First Benz! In need of advice...

Apparently my slightly used Benz did not come with back seat headrests...sigh. I assume it is not really safe for people to ride back there until I remedy the problem. So I am looking for all three (3) rear seat headrests for my newly purchased 2008 C350 sport sedan, to match in blk leather.

First Benz and still learning...How do I ensure that they will correctly fit in my car when shopping on the internet(ebay or Junkyards)? Will specifying W204 work? Or use part numbers?

Prices from the dealer are pushing over 1200...

Thanks in advance!

Take that **** back!

Texas Direct Auto in Houston, Tx. And yes I'm giving them hell to no avail, b/c in the end I signed all the papers so "it's not their problem". I even had it professionally inspected. Apparently headrests are not on the 239453745983477 point checklist!

Anyways, thanks for the help! =)

the only place you will get them cheap is an auto reacker, if they have an W204's in yet.
