Drivers seat door pillar
Does anybody else have the same issue? I'm 6'6 so the seat is all the way back so this question would probably apply to taller guys in the forum. Over time as I get in and out of the car my shoulder and side rubbed on the cloth pillar and it is really worn to the point of almost ripping the stealer wants like $600 or so and I have searched ebay and none to be found anybody have any suggestions other than buying from the dealer. I even checked junk yards but again no luck.

yeah if you can pull off the pillars take them to one see what they can do. I did that once to an old car I took off the door panels and took it in and matched it using the headliner.

Give these folks a call. http://mbpartsonline.com/ They may not list the part online, but could have it sitting in a car with an interior matching yours.
