So mailorder ... I asked the guys where I used to mailorder my BMW parts (Bavarian Autosport) and they recommended Performance Products of California for MB parts:

Mercedes Parts and Accessories – Mercedes Wheels, Car Covers, Floor Mats, Steering Wheels and More from Performance Products:

Any experience with them?

Or know of other great mailorder MB and/or XF OEM parts dealers?

I requested a PP MB catalog, and even suggested to them that there is a need for a similar XF catalog. No response yet, but given that Diamler got burned on the D+C merger, I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is a resounding "Mein Gott, Nein!"

The silicone is easy enough to remove should you need to actually remove your wiper arm but it will hold those little caps on there like nobody's business. I think a few guys tried to swipe mine out in Carlisle but couldn't get them off.:p LOL You two know who you are! ;)
