That's not a cheap fix if you use Benz parts. Cost me over $2000 installed.

The MB supplied headliner can be inexpensive...depends on the color. Color code is 5B49 brand new is under $200. Yet 9B29 is over $1000. Total of 5 colors appear to be available....I just don't know what color codes translate to for the actual color!

If you do get the headliner, order it from the dealer, it comes as one piece and shipping is a nightmare, unless you pick it up at the dealer, then there is no shipping. It comes pre-mounted and the box is impressive.

22 X3, 21 330e, 97 M3, 97 C36 (sold), but on the hunt for a clean, low-mile C43!
If it had the headlight wipers/factory Xenon, maybe I'd consider it...but eh, without this feature the car is only half-appealing to me at best. The wipers are a must-have for me.
