I called several dealers about the '02 mudflaps. They all said it's the same as '01s and cost about $150 for the four flaps and hardware. Does this sound right? TIA.
Companies are killing me with the 02 differences..
seems like I can't get a straight answer out of anyone - MB, Manik, Waag... One e-mail confirms the 01 model will fit; a second e-mail sent (because I don't trust 'em) confirms that there are changes necessary, and 'we're testing them right now'.<br> <br> UGH!
$150(US) sounds high - I think MBUSA had them at...
$150(US) sounds high - I think MBUSA's model configurator had them at $80/set last year ('01) without installation. A dealer quoted me $300 installed (before I found out they weren't available at the time.)<br>
<br>
I've asked about '02 availability here, and people responded that they're seeing '02s outfitted with them on dealer lots, and they're standard equipment in Australia (said to be a bit larger than normal there.) IWAN offered to hook me up with a place to order them if my dealer doesn't come through. I submitted a question about flaps to my dealer via their web page, but haven't had a response in several days. Either they're ignoring their web site (which is what I suspect) or they don't have an answer to give me. Will call them next week -- my critter's paint is already milk white behind the wheels in just 2500 miles - need them badly!

any chance they gave you retail pricing?<br> <br> I agree - $150 sounds a bit high - but that's what Clair was getting (basically) for the older versions.
I called my local 'center' to get part and installation pricing. My parts professional said mudflaps were not available for 02 model. I gave him the part #s I got from MBUSA, but he said he doesn't show those parts in his system. He reluctantly agreed to call MB to find out price and availability for the MY02 mudflaps.<br>
<br>
I also asked about installation pricing, and he said 'Uhhhh, you'll have to talk to the service department about that.' I'll check on that later.<br>

Have you gotten any response from your dealer yet?<br>
<br>
I too am on the hunt for '02 mud flaps. Please email me if you have any new info. The name of your dealer could be helpful as well.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
