I would bet that the amount of time you spend looking for that part will add up and it will not be worth the little that you save finding it somewhere other than MB. I bet that thing is around 20$ from the dealer. My time is worth at least $25 hr. Your other best bet is used. I strongly doubt that piece is available aftermarket.

x2. The parts forum and wrecking yards are alternatives.

Are you sure it’s a cap? I thought it was a grommet to guide a hex tool to the adjustment screw.

Good point. The car is new to me so I guess this is just me honing my process.
