They are about $12 at Advance Auto Parts. They look like cooking tongs...

FYI I would consider adding a LITTLE bit of silicone dielectric grease (Silicone high temp disk brake grease also works) to the inside of the boots, Makes their removal so much easier, dont use wd40 or youll glue them on.

Cool! I didn't know if they were some special mercedes thing. I am used to the rubber boots on my honda's that come right off by hand.
