Wink Parts Suppliers?
Okay guys, after many, many BMWs and a couple Volvos, I bought my first Benz. Where are your favorite high quality, low cost Benz parts suppliers?

On the list:

-Third brake light assembly
-antenna motor assembly (gear is stripped)
-rear pads/rotors
-HR springs and HD Bilsteins

Other than that, this thing is purrrfect.

Rusty is the least expensive option anywhere.

Discount Parts
Try www.overnightautoparts.com - Free UPS shipping on parts over $50.

They have comparable prices to buymbparts, and they offered a metal oil filler cap, where rusty's only had the plastic one.

Another site is www.rockauto.com

You might just need a new mast and not the whole antenna motor.

That was the plan. Is it a bad one?

I think the little round gear that drives the mast is stripped out, but I have not pulled it apart yet. I don't think you can buy just the gear can you?
