Now I can't find what I want. Maybe one of you reading this will know. When the door panels are removed, there is also a sheet of clear plastic attached to the door held in place with adhesive. I think most cars have the same plastic as well..keep the water out.
I want to buy some of these plastic door liners. I saw them for sale some months ago and now I can't locate them. Feel free to tell be where I can buy some! I can buy some plastic from home depot...have to do a lot of trimming, etc...rather buy the one that will fit correctly.
Thank you for your help!

The plastic moisture barrier is a part number 129 727 01 87 and is the same for both doors with a whopping price of around $10.00 from your dealer.

You can also buy some heavy Visqueen or underlayment plastic from a home improvement store and use that. Of course you'll have to buy a roll of it, so in my opinion it's easier and cheaper in the long run to just buy the plastic from Mercedes.

When I remove or replace these liners I use rubber cement to adhere them to the door. It's not as messy as the factory adhesive, which may or may not be intact, and allows for easy removal in the future should you want to take the plastic off again.

I just use clear plastic sheet they use from the builders yard, cut to size and glued in place . Its only to stop water getting in to the foot well . And no one will see it after you have put the door cards back on .

Appreciate the replies! Thank you!
The problem I have is the speaker fabric. When it rains, I can see the speaker fabric on both doors getting wet.
Dark color fabric, not noticeable as much as the cream color speaker fabric!
So, this weekends project will be to replace the plastic liner behind both door panels.

This is something i've never read about before. Let us know how it goes. If it works, and such.

This is something I do not understand, and I have had the discussion on this issue several times (on french forums, for other cars as well): how can so much water come in that area? Ok, here in south of France, rain is very light, but even though, how come the water from the rain enter so much that one can see it is wet?

As far as I remember, I have replaced the plastic line (DIY), and the heavy speaker device is screwed in over the plastic line. Which means that if you feel there is some water on the speaker grill, the plastic line may not be the culprit, right?
In addition, do not forget that all the wires are in the door frame, so much more subject to rain than the spreaker grill of the door panel. Major issue remains: how do we stop rain from going massively in that area?
