Part Number
My cousin just purchased a used 2002 S class. He is looking for the Rubber seal that is between the mirror mount and door. When the mirror is folded it is the black rubber part that is easily visible. Also the inner wheel well shroud is loose and apparently missing screws. Would the screws be a available at the dealer? He is supposed to bring it to my house tomorrow night for me to see first hand.

No, gasket is not part of mirror assy. Dealer will say that but if he gives it a second look he will see a $7 gasket separate. I had this problem twice on my 2000 and as soon as I find those part numbers or my super old post about this I will give it.

Here's my old post with dealer part numbers. Give the dealer these part numbers and he'll pull the parts for you. Less than $10

Well the part is available without having to purchase the whole mirror and assembly. Eventhough both my cousin and I were told by the same parts manager that the gasket was unavailable. My cousin actually went back to the same dealership and spoke with the same manager and when she searched the part number posted by Kenstudio in a older thread, all of sudden the parts were available. The price isn't bad at $4 a side. Thank you everyone for your help.

The funny thing is I was at the dealership and mentioned that I had the part number and she told me that the part is no longer available period, and that the whole mirror assembly needs to be purchased. Wellmy cousin went in a second time and he asked her to run the part number and what do you know it is available and it retails for $4.00

Exactly why we post on this forum. Remember, a $4 part is not bringing any $$$ to them and they would rather sell you the $600 mirror assy just for the sales figures. Also, when the tech searches his computer for the mirror seals, he sees the entire assembly and not the seals. Thats the info he will give you and if you dont know, you'll get taken. Happens all the time. It pays to be a DIY kinda guy.

Ok, after some blah, blah, I do have a question, which is to some degree related to the OP's question.
Is there an aspherical mirror glass (auto dimming and heated) available in the US. I got used to it on my old W140 and now always get surprised by the immensely larger blind spot the stock mirrors generate. I do know that ebay may be a source, but I am hesitant, because of quality constraints.
