Hi,
Fitted an electric blind in my C43 (facelift) and the blind loom was available from MB, I have now got a blind from a "P" plate C36, for my 97 C230K, MB could,nt supply me the correct loom for it.
My solution was to ring the guy who broke the C36 and he cut the plugs off of the loom with as much cable as possible on them (it could,nt be removed in its entirety because of the side impact damage that had written it off).
Having seen both the C36 and C43 loom, and read the WIS instructions of fitting the blind I think there were "Essentially" only 2 looms for this and it all depended where the switch for the blind was fitted, Early 202's facelift were fitted in the dash above the heater controls I believe, where the later prefacelift and facelift vehicles had it in the centre console adjacent to the gear shift.
I would buy a C43 loom from MB IIRC approx. £20ish. and mod it to suit your vehicle.
Have you got a shelf? or are you modding your existing one? I bought a new one for my C43, but it came with no speaker holes or holes for the indicator flags to show the rear seat isn,t locked back in position, cutting the speaker holes was very fiddly and awkward thing to do due to the shape of the grills and profile of them.
I still have the WIS work instructions if you want them drop me a PM.
