Wing mirror gasket replacement??

[Abb]

Yet another elusive part I am trying to source! There is a gasket/seal between the wing mirror and the body which has perished (no surprise really) and needs replacing.

MB state they do not do one and is not listed on EPC. I believe this may be the same as the W210 but may be wrong.

Can anyone assist with a part number or advice re sourcing one?

Perhaps pre-facelift W210 up to 99 has the same mirrors and the seals could fit?

A smart thing to do is to treat these seals with rubber UV protective vinyl spray to keep them soft and happy.
Rubber dries and perish.
Fold the mirrors and use a soft paint brush or cloth to treat the seals.
Meguiars has great vinyl interior/exterior spray

Have you a picture or part number of the seal Abb?

From what I can gather from the description from the body shop, that is what I need. Just need to find some in the UK.

You could ask them to send it via UPS expedited shipping, should be with you within 1 week I’d imagine?

I can’t find any in stock here

MB Teesside have definitively said MB don't supply the gasket separately and the whole mirror frame would need to be purchased, at a cost of £535 ea! needless to say, I won't be doing this just for the gasket, hence my search continues!

On that note, does anyone know which mirror is the same as that of the W202 of that vintage so I can ascertain if there are gaskets available for this mirrors! Possible the W210? 208? W140?

I can check if mine are any good for you?

That would be appreciated pal. So frustrating (but not surprising) that MB don't do it! It is a bit odd as some companies appear to offer it or have done so in the past.

I didn't pm you in the first instance as I thought they would be a right PITA to do, ironically!

Haha...yes, they were a bit harder than I recalled. I broke one of the spring mounts off.
PM incoming.
