Hi,
I wondered if someone could help me please on an issue that is consuming way too much of my time!
I’ve owned my W204 AMG Sport Plus for just over a year, love driving it and it’s been great to own. When I originally bought the car I noticed some damage to the top part of the driver’s door card. My hunch was that the previous owner damaged it somehow and had it corrected (badly). I didn’t think much of it at the time as I just thought I’d get a replacement door card. I did manage to find an almost identical secondhand one on eBay shortly after in the same trim, however when I received it, I noticed the grip on the interior door arm in my car has the indented/scalloped grip, whereas the replacement door card I bought doesn’t have this.
I’ve spoken to Mercedes Benz about this and they have told me the arm rest can’t be taken out so the only alternative is to order a brand new door card, which is super expensive.
I’ve also been checking eBay/breakers yards for the same door card as what I currently have but no success so far.
I know this is a really petty thing as I can get the replacement door card I bought fitted on my car fairly easily, but knowing that the door grips are different will send my OCD into the stratosphere.
Any help/ideas/recommendations would be gratefully appreciated! Pictures attached are of my current door card with the damage and the door grip.
Thanks
