Thank God for Benzes.. My friend wasn't even wearing his seatbelt.. All of a sudden boom... no time to react or anything..
The only thing I hurt was me knee that hit the bottom dash..

I'll see what I can do for you or anybody else who needs anything.. PM me.

I would like to purchase the trim around the seat controls on the drivers side. There is a picture below of mine (the previous owner looks like he left leather conditioner on the trim causing it to fade)

Thanks

Parts

I need the drivers side handle that releases the rear seat. It's located in the trunk. It's the plastic assembly that lets the rear seat fold down. Easy to remove too. I think it has three phillips screws holding it in. I'm in Long Beach CA 90808
Thanks, sorry to hear about your ride.
Shane

What color is the outer window trim piece in the rear window on the drivers side?

Black?

If so I would like to purchase that.

Thanks
Steve

hey bro! i need the metal piece that is directly next to the front windshield on the outside of the car. it should have a rubber seal attached to it as well.

i believe it's called the "pillar mount". if you look directly at the front of the car, it's the metal piece that runs alongside the front windshield on the passenger's side.

let me know what you want for it shipped to 94087

thanks,
AL

Your CLK sacrificed itself for your safety. Glad you are still around to share your experience.

Looks like my 99 ...

If you still have it and are parting things out I'd take the driver side AMG sideskirt, assuming it's a CLK430

Good thing you are ok.. and my condolences on the Clk loss..

lol @ some of you posting up solely to ask for parts and not even offer encouragement..

how pathetically selfish of you..

yes an mbworld member almost died and lost his clk..

but i guess you receiving the part you need is of utmost importance..
