If the car was still under warranty the dealerships did not do the repair they ordered new valve covers and gaskets. More than likely the parts are no longer available from Chrysler or are super expensive. You have been pointed to the correct thread that is extremely detailed, either try doing it yourself or find a repair shop that works on German cars and they will be very familiar with this problem.
Lots of parts were not available from Chrysler from day one, they ordered the part from the local Mercedes dealership, stuck a Chrysler label on it which carried the Chrysler part number on it and then sold it to you at a greatly increased price.
These days you go to the Mercedes dealer for your part, it has their part number on it most likely. You may have to convince them you have SLK32/320.
