Best price for two parts

My third light on trunk has the red lens broke at the top. It looks like you cannot just buy the red plastic lens. MB wants $360.00 for the unit.

I might also need a vario top motor. Any thoughts on where I could get the best pricing on above two items.

Thanks

Not sure on the motor, hopefully others will chime in.

Sounds like an opportunity to go with a clear lens?

Parts wanted $250.00 shipping on a $1,280 part. Talk about a rip off. Bought from my indie for list price. Arrives to or row. Pump was bad. Kept blowing the 40 amp fuse behind the pass seat.

I've had good results here:

I pulled a list of all recalls and did not see the rear light on it. Where did you find out this information?

Thanks

Had the vehicle in for regular maintenance and it was fixed for free. Stealer said it was under recall. Didn't question him as I am not in the habit of looking a gift horse in the mouth.

+1 on this. This is the first place I go, when I need parts. Hell, even my friend, who is an MB tech, purchases his parts there. It's cheaper than his price at his own dealership.
