Has Parts.com changed??

Several times I have looked at Parts.com and they had exploded drawings of literally every part of the car. Now I see no category that covers interior or trim parts at all. They used to have parts diagrams of seats, the center console, the convertible top - literally everything. Now nothing except basic mechanical stuff like suspension, brakes and steering. Am I just blind?

Nope it's gotten worse since the website re-design. I can't find half the stuff I'm looking for on it anymore. There are plenty of other places to order from so...no problem.

Yep, the redesign of their website is terrible. Often, I can't get a hit on a part number search.

I did some poking around yesterday and can find no substitute site. Others are either limited in the same way, or they just sell a random assortment of parts but not even close to everything and have no diagrams. If anybody knows of a comprehensive pace to buy parts, let me know. Cannot fathom why Parts.com would mess with such a comprehensive system.

I don't think I would base by parts buying on diagrams found on websites. Look it up in EPC and then search for the best price. It matters little where it comes from. Plenty of dealers sell online at not-so ripoff prices.

If you want decent diagrams take a look at http://www.mbpartsworld.com/. Their prices suck but at least you can look up the part numbers.
