1998 C43 replacement blower motor

Looking for advice on where to buy replacement blower. Raining in Seattle extra hard, flooded passenger foot area. Found fresh air drain clogged. See a few references to cheap blower motors that don't last, should I buy from MB for $400 or a cheaper, reliable alternate. Thanks for your thoughts.

ouch, thats happened to a few of us in florida too. watch out for the yaw sensor under the passenger seat going bad. I left the rubber flap off of my 43 and havent had any problems since. fcpeuro.com has reasonable pricing for parts

Thanks Brad - ordered the blower motor today. Not sure what you mean by "yaw sensor"? I work for an airline and can see this type of sensor on an aircraft!

Theres a srs sensor on a cross bar under the passenger seat under the carpet. If you got enough water in your 43 that sensor could go bad
