124 Trunk Bumpers ?

[Chris W.]

I know this is small potatoes, but I was looking at the small black plastic or hard rubber bumpers or guides which are on either side of the trunk opening on my '95 E300D, and those babies are really deteriorated.

I'm not sure how or why this happens - they are obviously out of the light (ultraviolet) when the trunk is closed, which is the situation 99.99999% of the time, and they don't seem to be subjected to much stress, but they are starting to really fall apart.

The trunk lid might start rattling at this rate... Anyone replaced them or have other comments?

Rgds,
