I phoned a local MB/Smart dealer last week to order trim clips for my Smart. I thought I'd described them pretty well .... there are 2 screws that hold the front lower part of the rear wings to the 'Tridian', these screw into a plastic fitting that clips into a sqaure-ish hole in the Tridian.
Went to collect them today & needless to say that they were wrong. So, let me see your EPC screen ..... sorry Sir, you have to wait there & I'll bring you a printed sheet.
Half a dozen sheets later & still not the right pictures.
Gave up!
I thought I'd try a different dealer, gave him a picture of the end of the sill where the two screws are. He disappeared & came back .... still no idea of what I wanted.
Gave up again!
Got home & found them inside 5 mins ...... https://webautocats.com/en-gb/epc/smart/f/fg/451331/60j/88/070/ item 40 & they don't answer the phone so I can't tell them I've found it.
I've spent more on diesel going to two dealers than the cost of the parts .....
