OK, I lied. I know what they are, what they do, and why they're cracked. I just thought I'd get more eyes on the issue if I asked in a screwy way -- kind of in the vein of the "I think this part is broken, what does it do?" type of questions you see here on the board regularly. I asked about them last week but didn't get any answers to the problem, so I figured I'd try again. Sorry for the subterfuge!

What I am looking for is a source for replacement side window squeegees -- these are the rubber parts that attach at the upper edge of the door skin and seal/wipe against the side windows as they move up and down. I am not asking about windshield wipers. Putting P/N 126 725 03 65 into the Fastlane search returns "Sorry, this product is temporarily unavailable..." Where is this part available besides the dealer? Are there any aftermarket replacements that will work well? (no success at JC Whitney, BTW)

Thanks in advance,
Shawn

I knew which parts you were talking about but didn't have an answer. I'm looking for the same parts so I hope someone has a source.

I also need them. I thought there might be something that would work at an auto parts store, even if it isn't OEM.

I also needed these parts and spoke with Roy at Fastlane. He can get them, but since the parts originate from Mercedes, he told me it would be less expensive to order them myself and not pay double shipping charges.

There are some parts that you have too get from the dealer if you want them. I payed something like $25 EA for the "piping" that goes down the aft side if the door frame. Looks nice tho and I dont have to look at the black rubber "noddle' hanging out.

Thanks for the inputs, Y'all. I'll check out Pelican Parts, as it's not convenient to get around to the dealer.
