Call Phill on the 800# in the buy parts tab, or go to the dealer.

Old thread, but I'm wondering if anyone has a part number for the felt sunroof feet for w123 sunroofs, or a source for finding them?

If they are NLA, has anyone found or DIY'd a reasonable replacement?

A Mercedes dealer said that 126 feet are NLA. The seals interchange so I am ass/u/ming the roofs are the same. I need some and am going to check the parts car. I have some printed out of plastic but they don't work as well as the felt.

When I was restoring my 1985 300D sunroof a few years ago, I saw people asking >$50 ea for used felt feet. I try to be more resourceful. I bought some very large heat shrink (~2") on ebay which shrinks way down and gets thicker. That has been working fine to slide smoothly on the chrome rails, plus is well-secured to the roof's metal feet.
