Accessories a thing of the past?
Am I missing something or has MB USA just given up on accessories? It would seem they'd be trying to sell whatever they could right now. Is it only up to a local dealership to order or source them, because on MBUSA they only tease with last years accessories. My dealer basically said there's nothing and shoved me to the delivery dock/garage to go through the features of my new GLB. I'd love to order some wheel locks, maybe different hub caps, cargo organizers, etc. but seems I'd have better luck flying kites.
Any advice or ideas other than sourcing from Amazon is appreciated. I have a former co-worker that just got a gig working for the "lifestyle" part of MB which seems like an utter joke. If they got a team of fools deciding which color the coasters or some dumb scarf should be you'd think they'd have several teams making actual car accessories happen.
Thanks in advance, I've found this forum a much better place for info than dealerships.

There are plenty of online MB dealers that will sell you accessories. Although outside of wheels there not many options for GLB. Just search for online MB parts store. You can also get these parts from eBay, probably for a better price, once you know which part number you want.

Appreciate the response dvenneman! Ya I wasn't really looking for much, but was thinking about some different sets of hubcaps to match my outfits. /s
I mainly wanted to buy some locking nuts and figured getting from MB was better than aftermarket. I wouldn't mind some of the cargo crap either, but I'm sure can find my own tie downs and sandbags if I really want to.
I've already given up on the MB booster seat.

One thing I've looked for but doesn't seem to exist:
Some type of locking mechanism for the cargo area floor board. I'm considering making my own, but everything under there is plastic so it will be hard to fabrication something that actually "secure."
