This is an ongoing topic of discussion that never gets old. As Mercedes models that incorporate the ABC (active body control) into their suspension age, the cost of repairs and maintenance increase greatly. So much, that this often is the beginning of the end of ownership. Mercedes of course, supports the repair and maintenance of these models. The OEM new parts are plentiful and easily accessible by the dealership, but costly. Labor cost is also a factor that must be considered. Another option does exist, nonetheless. Before I mention it, I must say....nothing feels as perfect as a functioning ABC suspension. Nothing can equally replace the results of Mercedes engineering, research and development. But, there is an option. Coilovers.

I'm having trouble sourcing interior trim parts for my cl500. Got the car as a gift from my brother a disabled vet from Texas. I had it shipped to Canada. The car has under 100 K. Nice outside but someone took glue to meet driver air vent and seat control trim in place.
Any suggestions as to where to source interior parts that will ship. Not much luck with eBay...it looks like lots of parts with broken clips.
