Thanks for the input. After tinkering with Uro's webpage, I was finally able to get the following message thru -- one has to break-up the message into chunks since Uro's web page only accepts 100 digits or so. I guess they might be tired of the ranting by unhappy customers ? Here is what I sent:

Hello,

I am a MB fanatic. I have a 1983 W123. I am looking for door seals. I am a frequent flyer on the Mercedes forums, and I see a lot of members simply bash your products. Can you tell me about your door seals, their warranty, any customer feedback, et cet. It makes little sense to buy a product where the quality is suspect. Further, pricing is a consideration. I know that the Lemforders are around $65-70 a piece yet your door seals are around $30-$35 a piece. And Mercedes OEM, they are silly at $200 a piece. Further, I doubt Mercedes is still making theirs; rather, they are NOS, so they have aged to some degree. If Mercedes is still having some made, I am guessing they are being made in China, Argentina, et cet. Lemforder could not verify true German-made products, so I am guessing they are re-packaging Chinese made goods. I am a fan of real German made MB parts. There is something to the quality. So, can you tell me where your door seals are really manufactured? I read your web page and advertising, however, that really does no one any good if I go foward and buy your products only to find they are ill fitting or poorly made. I will demand a refund, and because I am member of all the MB forums, I will simply join the ranks of those who bashed your products. I can say that the tie rods on my MB were replaced by the prior owner about 2 years ago, and they are Uro brand. And, the rubber is completley rotted all the way around and one could say they are junk. I owned a set of Lemforders with some MB items for front end items on my prior MB and they lasted for years and years without any signs of any wear, so there is something to be said about the bashing Uro products receive since I have at least seen one instance where there is a real differnce in quality and wear.

So, please let me know and please share with me any comments. I am getting my car painted, and it's almost done so I really do need new door seals.

Thanks,"


Let's see if I get any response or a real response. I am hoping to get something a little more than broken English where I am told to re-vist the web page to see Uro's warranty, et cet. So far, that has been my experience with Ebay on a few items.
