Assistance Needed from Canada
Hi All -
I'm looking from assistance from one of our Canadian members to make a call to their local parts department for the Eyeglass Compartment for the new 2014 E350 (see attached photo from the 2014 E350 owners manual.
According to my US parts contact, it is not available in the US but should be available in Canada.
I would like to know if someone could find out availability and let me send them enough cash to buy and ship this part to me in the US.
Any takers?

I actually just calles my dealer and they said since its not available to US, we need a VIN of a car that has it in order for us to receive it. So we need a number of a german car or possibly a canadian car.. and will takes several weeks to deliver.

A US dealer can presumeably order a non-US item only if they show that they have a customer that has a car with that particular feature - in this case, a Canadian car with that option.
However, that shouldn't stop any Canadian dealer from ordering that spare part without a VIN since that item appears to available in Canada as an option.

I'm in Canada, bought one of those from eBay and installed it on my 2012 E sedan (at around $50?). Key is that it's quite shallow so it can only fit the wired frame smaller glasses, not my Ray-Ban Wayfarer.
