I am looking for a secondhand cover as the spring in mine has gone. Has anyone got a spare for sale please?

Luggage Cover for E-Class Mercedes Estate
Hi Nick
It is a E320T July 1998 Estate-Type 210K. Present cover is charcoal but I'm no too fussy about colour.
Thanks for your reply.

Loadspace cover
Mike
I don't have any W210 bits (yet) but if it's like the W124 there is a coiled spring at each end for each pull-out bit (luggage retainer & loadspace cover)
It's easy enough to get one end coiled & clipped in place but I couldn't figure out a way of doing both ends - there must be a technique to it!
The pivot bar that runs through the middle is round with flats on it - like a D section - and the flats engage with the plastic end caps. The end cap has a metal clip to keep it all together. I suspect the clip's come adrift and the plastic bit has broken. It's repairable, in theory, but I've not managed it. Maybe someone else has?
Best of luck finding what you need

Thanks for your advice. I'll have another go at a repair and will also keep a look out for a secondhand replacement.

Hi Don
Yes if the price is right.

Mike,
Sorry for the late reply, the luggage cover is in "as new" condition as it has received very little use. Retail from the dealers is well over £500, (just checked and nearly had a heart attack). I am looking for about £100.
Where about are you? I am in Norfolk.

Hi Mike,
If you're still looking I have a beige load cover in the garage I don't need - any reasonable offer accepted.
I also have a set of roof bars as well if you, or anyone else is interested.
Cheers,
Kevin
