Hi,

what is the plastic strap called that is to the left of the aluminium list to the left of the drivers seat that you see when the door is open?

thank you!

 

take photo? left or right hand drive ?

 

Theres the image.. and it is not below any aluminium list at all..

anywho, the list that is supposed to be attached where you see the orange plugs

 

confuse everyone even more

 

There is supposed to be a black plastic list where you see the orange plugs in the chassis. If anyone knows the legal name on this strap it would be helpful.

 

Your link to the image file will not open.

Upload an image file.

You say "list". That word does not make any sense.

 

what the heck are you talking about? I'm confoosed.

 

Heres as an attachment.

Now the picture is taken of the drivers seat, while the door is open.

If you sit in the left hand driven driversseat and look down to your left while the door is open you will first see a silvery strap/list/board, looking about 5 cm more to the left you will see a plastic list/board/strap.. but wait, in the picture there is no plastic whatever?!? thats right, theres only the paint of the car and plastic plugs.

"so you want to put a new plastic strap where it is supposed to be?"

"well, um, yes"...

Thanks.

 

Well done - now we see what the problem is (a picture tells a thousand words).

It is the bottom rocker panel which is missing - it is made out of plastic, hooks into those yellow sockets and then underneath the car you would attached it with plastic studs. Dealer would be the best place to get them or from a scrap yard. The shape will also be different depending if it is pre 99 or post 99 and then AMG uses an even fancier one. Best is to down load various pics of the different models of W208 to see which you prefer.

 

More assistance, of course it would have to be spray painted to the same colour as your car - pre 99 was black

 

For the purpose of clarity, are you missing the rocker on both sides, or just one side ?

 

On driver side, left side. But I could change both of em to steel. Also the panel to the right of this panel is coming of. I could change them too.

 

That is not the piece I am missin. The door has to be open to see it..

 

All right, time to pull my head out of my ***.

It is the rocker panel. It is black. Pre 1999 and the plugs are ref. Now I only need to find one. If anyone got one for sale please post.

Thanks

 

It is not the rocker panel that you see on the picture. this panel is under the door on the inside when the door is shut.

 

Daniel,

Mercedes calls them "scuff plates".
The rest of the civilized world calls them "door sills".

The scuff plate is under the door.
The rocker is also under the door, and wraps to the bottom of the uni-frame.
If it is neither of these parts, then make sure you're driving a Mercedes, and not a Avtovaz Lada

You seem to indicate that your part was only missing on one side.
Post a picture of the one you have.

You posted neither the year of your car, nor your location, so if you are in Siberia or Nigeria, you're out of luck if you're looking for a dealership parts counter. You'll have to either move to Stuttgart, or rely on the internet, and the kindness of strangers.
