Thought I might start a bit of a parts position gallery. This is for ML500 2013 model.
Also when we have things apart it might be good to take pictures and post them so we can become familiar with where things are.

I did notice my sunroof drain was not positioned properly in where it was supposed to be and being crushed flat by the inner trim panel.

I fixed it in behind the bracket in a clip where it’s supposed to be. It has a line on the tube that corresponds with the bracket.

Genuine rear brake pads and replacement parts included with pads. Part number: A007 420 77 20

Electric park brake / emergency brake needs to be retracted to replace pads successfully. Some scanners will have this feature in actuator functions and tests.
