Where to find GLE350 rear bumper skirt? Nationwide backorder for 6 months?

I got hit in January and have been waiting for a rear bumper skirt part # 167-88-65-00 for SIX months now.

Does anyone have an idea who I can call and/or who to contact at corporate to find out what's going on with this part? The have such a common part on a common car be on backorder for so long seems to be a little ridiculous.

Just curious, have you called other dealers to see what they say about stock availability? The parts shows up on several MB parts stores online and can be added to the cart for checkout.

Yes I started getting despearate a month ago I ordered it from an ebay seller (said in stock) seller cancels the order after a few days.

I just ordered from "Mercedes Classic Parts" (revolutionparts) - said in stock. Order canceled it's on back order.

None of the dealer inventory appears to be correct, any of the dealers with an actual inventory system shows backorder.

Probably a long shot but have you tried any salvage yards?

Maybe mboemparts? They are part of Autonation iirc. I've found them to have fair prices for oem air filters and I *think* I saw your bumper piece in stock, if I used the correct p/n. At least it let me try to check out. I'd for sure call or email them to be sure.
