Short of a dealer, does anyone have any idea as to where I might find new exterior side-window rubber for an 85 280CE? I could also use a line on a new rear (blue) leather seatback. Can one be purchased separately from the seat bottom at a savings that makes it worth not replacing the whole thing?

there are side window rubber up on ebay for both the coupe and sedan

Do a search on Mercedes W123 and look through, I saw them this morning.

Just bought and installed two front exterior side-window rubbers for my 300CD, got them at the dealer in Santa Monica for $15 each. The back window ones are $150 each

Call Rick Elkins at Simonson 1 800 462 7278.

Someone said the strip in the roof, over the doors, is more than $300 per side.
