I paid about 250 bucks for all those weather stripping

I am sure you can get them a lot cheaper if you do some searching on those internet MB parts site since you have parts number already it won't be a problem.

Remember the dealer MSRP on parts is usually near double of their invoice price.

example:
cost for oil filter. $4.00
MSRP: $14.00

bling bling....

I have a few questions, who installed them and how much for installation. Also does the stripping make the interior quieter?
