New owner with some questions
I just bought a black 98 SLK with 68,000 miles. I can't seem to find any places that sell SLK accessories. Can you recommend any?
I'm not crazy about the door sills with the little rubber dots (a couple are missing). Does someone make just plain black door sill covers?
Also, one of the rubber buffers (Mercedes terminology) is missing. This is the rubber bumper thing that the folded top stack sits on in the trunk. The local Mercedes dealer had a replacement one, but it is much different than the other one on my car. The new one had a rubber arrowhead type thingy on the bottom that fits in a hole. My car has what looks like a vertical rod with a nickel on top. The rubber buffer would slip over this. Has anyone dealt with this problem?
Thanks for your help!

There are a few other vendors in Europe. And of course check ebay...
