W126 Part Needed: Moisture Shield

[Randy]

Does anyone know where to buy the plastic moisture shield which protects the inside door trim? A previous lout ripped one completely away on my car's rear door; I hate to put the trim back on without it.

OK thanks; I'll check the dealer. 1986 420SEL rear door.

Why not just cut a piece of 4 or 6 mil poly sheeting to fit?

Use a garbage bag. Garden 30 gallon size.
Spray edge with 3M spray glue.

Oh, well, I can't pretend to be pure; I have rigged up worse things...
but, but, this is a freakin' Mercedes-Benz, ya know? I gotta maintain the illusion to justify the parts and trouble.
I am repadding the center pillar covers with polyester blanket padding from Hobby Lobby. The original foam rots with age and heat and crumbles, and wrinkles show up. It's a pita to glue the vinyl back on, but the padding is just right when you get it all together. This is a rig-up, but it is sort of an engineered improvement, since I'm an engineer...
Polyethylene it is, then.

Pictures would help.
This would be a very good DIY, many people could use it.
