Hi O Knowledgeable Ones :-)
I have trouble finding some smaller parts at the usual online outlets.
For example:
1 Rubber duct that guides the air through the 2 center ducts in the dash panel. PN 123 832 09- It looks like a wierd pair of shorts or a tiny swim suit. One required.
2 Air vent PN 123 830 02 54. There are two of these - one on each end of the dash panel. This vent is fixed to the dash panel by a piece with a short collar and a chrome plated ring that stays outside the panel. It has no part number, so I assume that it is part of Item 2. One required
The MBZ instructions for treating this part were something like "pull the air hose off the vent." Well I did, and instead of the hose coming off the vent, the vent stayed on the hose and it pulled the vent out of the dash panel, breaking two of the four catches off the collar/chrome ring piece that stayed in the dash panel.
3 Other small items like the steel screws that hold the two panels over the feet area to the dash panel, the steel clips that slide up the edge of the panel and hold those srews and, finally, the little brown caps with 2 flimsy catches for hiding the heads of the same screws at the front of the dash panel. There was a number on these: PN 123 988 00 35, though the right 0 was a bit blurred. I'd take a small pack of these.Suggestions appreciated.
