We bought the 2007 B180cdi in 2015 and I'm going around tarting it up a little - you know, fixing little things that will need to be done.
One thing is the retractable rear luggage apron locking tab on one side (left one as your facing forward).
I found these on ebay but they are a little over priced for my liking..... here
Anyone got any suggestions where I can purchase one? If I have to buy 2 - so be it.
Alternative is to try to make something out of the remaining bit of one I have.
I managed to drill a hole through the broken "insert" end, fit an old 25mm piece of 2mm dia. rod (ex an old welding rod) in it, epoxy and a protective rubber tube on the sliding part.
All sweet - never to break again.
Thought about "reinforcing" the good side in the same way - but will wait for it to break and adopt the same procedure if need be.
Thanks.
Doesnt ship to Australia - but I'm happy with my fix from Post#3
