it's in the EPC section with rear windshield defroster (Figure that location out?)

Section 82 Electrical System,Subsection 090 Cable Covering and Electrical Parts
(AKA "Covering,Partition Panel")
[I think of it as the topmost portion of the Forward-most "Faux Firewall"]
$50.00 or more @ the Stealer.
'Flimsy thin plastic panel coated with foam insulation.
(As it ages/heat degrades the foam disintegrates [like an old hood liner] )

I had to look at a number of W124 chassis before I found one in decent shape.
(ReCycler/Junkyard)
'Took it home and sprayed 3-4 coats of "Rattle Can" "Plasti Dip"
(It's literally liquid synthetic rubber in a can,'Won't dry or crack like plastic or pvc.)
(Almost any Lowe's or Ace will have it in the Black rattle can.)

As a thread hijack:
'Same Black Rattle can Plasti Dip...3-4 coats on the Topside of your
"Under Engine Shield" will make it impervious to Engine Liquids...unlike the O.E. coating.
I'm gonna overlay the Black with WHITE ,so any drips,leaks ,Etc. will be
immediately visible.
