HOW TO: Security style door lock knobs

[kegmankipp]

After some punks tried to break into my car with a coat hanger to pull up the stock door knobs I’ve been hunting for a security style knob for years with no luck until last week.

I had asked my MB dealer’s parts guys and others for a good option but finally found some info on eBay for a Genuine option:

123-766-00-22-9051

I ordered 4 for $5.50 total and they work great and blend in with the stock interior well. They are easy to grip and pull with your hand and not with a coat hanger!

just unscrew the old ones and screw these in. 2 minutes tops for install.

Yes, this is a very very long-standing "mod" that many of us have done on our 500Es. Thanks for posting a reminder along with the part number!

These are standard on the C126 in the EU and I installed them on the e500 when I bought the cars.

Ah, nice. I searched and couldn’t find any info so figured I’d post for others.
