280E Door rubbers and seal

[Croz]

Hi,
New to the site as from today.
Have a 1980 280E that my grandmother purchased new. Am just commencing the restoration project.
Would appreciate some help understanding where and who to speak with regarding sourcing interior items such as seals and rubbers for doors and windows please?
Thanks
Croz

Welcome to the website.

There are a few places locally like Silver Star in sydney, or you can buy from the USA or Germany.
You can also buy directly from the Mercedes classic centre in the USA, the prices are high but you will get the best quality.
One thing to bear in mind is that there is a lot of crappy stuff out there when it comes to aftermarket. Not all is crap, but there is a lot that is. Avoid URO or Meyle at all costs. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Some links:
Classic centre: call 1‑866‑622‑5277 or email classicparts@mbusa.com

A parts place I have used in germany: https://carus-parts.de

No worries, good luck with your car.

When you get a chance, it would be good to have a thread on your car with a few details about it and a few photos.
