here is this dude on ebay that is selling a set and this is what he said....

""The backs are all fine where the mounting clips go in with no damage. Most of the attachment clips are included with the exception of 1 or 2 on a couple of panels (the clips are only about a buck a piece at the dealer)""

I went to the dealer a while back and the person at the parts counter was pretty adamant in telling me that I need to buy the whole thing.. and he wanted to sell it to me for $100 for just one door!

To clear all of your guys questions - It's yes.

Mercedes-Benz dealerships do in fact sell the clips seperately. You just have to be VERY specific with them as to what you want and it helps even better if you know the part number.

They usually perfer to sell you the complete molding since it comes with everything - the easier route.

cost close to 200USD just to clip my 1980 280CE, a coupe!

95 e320...sold the rest
pfff

edit: when i took my moldings off, i broke alot of the clips. i just went to the local benz mechanic (its better to have a good relationship with them) and got them from him..

i'd look around...the junkyard maybe? just take em off gently
