Need mainland salvage yard suggestions
After picking up a 1984 300CD recently and thinking I really didn't have much to do on the body & mechanicals (hah! naive fool!), I just discovered that the rear drain trough on the sunroof is completely rusted through, which means a car full of water after a heavy rain. Unless I meet a friendly and generous welding/metalworking wizard sometime in the near future, I'm going to have to replace the sunroof.
MB quotes $1029.00 (!!!) for an OE replacement, so... I need to find something used.
But the problem is I live on Oahu and the salvage yard selection here is very limited, so I need some pointers to some large & professional mainland salvage yards (i.e. the kind with databases who will check for parts by phone and then pull and ship them) to see if I can track down a 300CD sunroof in good condition. Any suggestions?
