2008 CLK 350
Jack Point Replacement
So, my 2008 CLK 350 had a flat today... and when I broke out the Jack and associated items to put the spare on... the jack point/guard is broken. I was able to fix it enough to get the spare on, but the hard plastic piece that mounts into the frame rail, using some sort of 'push-in' connection, is broken and fell off.
Is that part readily available? If not, how does it remove from the vehicle (looks like a one-time push in) so that I could go to a pull-a-part and obtain one?

Found the part on AutoHauz, has anyone had experience with replacing one? Are they pretty universal and fit pretty well? Just hate to get stuck somewhere and not be able to jack up the wheel due to lack of this pad...

It's just held in place with a plastic push-pin. Remove the old one, place the new one, insert the pin, and press it in place. I had to replace one on the CLK and one on the SL. Somehow, they went missing.

Strangely this was one of the first repairs I made to the CLK Project car.
