Can you post a pic?

I'll try to post pics this weekend.

Just to clarify, most of you would be able to do this with no issues at all. I'm just such a non-DIY guy. I make the easiest things seem so difficult. What should've taken 5-10 minutes to do took me 30-45 minutes. It's always this way for me...

I would like to replace the plastic rubbery trim pieces which are located in the lower portion of the windshield under the wiper. It's the transition piece where the hood starts. Mine is rather sun damaged and starting to crack at the edges. A proper name for this and a parts store online would be much appreciated.

I have seen a used Benz on a lot that was doing the same thing, and it looks really nasty. Try: Mercedes Benz Parts, Mercedes Parts, Accessories and describe it just like you just did here. If they don't have it, call them and ask for Ron (mention Benzworld). He should know where you can get that. Good Luck!

$40 total for both sides. I just replaced mine. Check out the below thread from a little while back.

Don't feel bad practically 100% of our year cars will have same problem. Lucky that it is easy to replace and not that expensive. I had mine replaced also.

I guess you didn't get around to posting a picture. I'm trying to figure out what part you're talking about. I have a large plastic pan-like piece at the windshield base; is this it?
