Hi, I am looking for a pair ideally but one could do of the black plastic wiper bolt caps for my 1998 SL.
MB & The SL Shop have said they are not now available but another wiper cap which is similar is available part no A1298240049 which I have already tried and it’s too big sadly.
Does anyone know where I can find one or a pair please (perhaps a W126 might be the same size)?
My eyes keep looking at the missing cap and spoils the headlight look in my opinion.

Thank you

Hard to believe parts like this are no longer available.

The car is from 98....
Its a pity Merc are always changing design and the same part for what it is is not used on other models.

OP have you looked for any cars being broken on the Bay.

Still not sorted this one yet

Do Volvo or Saab have similar sized caps on their headlight wipers ?, you may have to change the arms for the newer ones, fleabay or again Volvo.

Sadly yes still not sorted and with all the work done in the car since we last met it a tiny tiny thing to replace but my eye keeps falling to it . Will try a few known MB parts places as I have no idea which Volvo wiper arm to look at (poss a early V70)

Must be looking really nice now then.

Perhaps visit a Volvo dealership or wander around a few places selling them, safer than poking around a car in a car park
