I removed the side skirts or rocker panels from below the doors on my machine grey coupe last night, in preparation for paint. On the door sill, there are five white plastic clips per side. These tend to break every time the rocker panels are removed, and indeed, I lost half of them in the process. Does anyone have a source for these clips? I'll try to add a pic of them later today.

Thank you so much!

 

They are also on eBay, just use the MB part number ( https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...8&_osacat=6000 ), take your pick. You get quite a few more for much less than the MB prices.

Thank you, all! One more piece of the puzzle on the way to get this car looking tip-top! Looking forward to what the cosmetics will be when complete.

 

The more the merrier, they break so easily. I am not too sure of the Chinese ones who knows what plastic quality they use. I would pay more for the OEM ones.I got my Mercedes clips at the Chrysler stealership as my wife worked there.
