R129 Part availability in the US ?

[GRAEME JOHNSON]

I would be really greatfull if a US based member could check the price and availability on the following
two parts for me A129 727 0311 and A129 727 0411 They are small bits of plastic that screw to the wood
trim on early R129 power seat switches and hold the retaining clip.
NLA in the UK, octoclassics sell a replacement but I have had parts from them before and the fit was not
very good.
Please dont go out of your way, next time you are in the dealers or next time you have to ring them will be fine
Thank you very much for any help

Both of those part numbers are showing NLA. Are you sure they are the correct numbers?

MB Classic is also showing both parts NLA:

Thanks Gerry
Yes right number I am sat with the old one here
They have 2 small tabs that fit behind the door card to hold the front edge of the switch in
People pull on the switches to get them out and they snap
Now I know the genuine is NLA everywhere I will order the Octoclassic reproduction and report
back on the fit to help other owners

Tim
Thank you for taking the time to post
The first clip shown fits on the top of the wood trim and they are handed so there is one for each side
I have seen these from parts dealers in Lithuania for 17euro so I think they may still be available from
Mercedes themselves ( That UK seller is very expensive).
I think I will buy a pair to put away.
The second one you show and its mirror image for the other side is what I need BUT
If you look at the picture carefully, on the left hand side opposite the metal clip the plastic is snapped
the missing bit is what hooks behind the door card mine are snapped just like this
You can see the two tabs on the left on the top clip pictured, I think the bottom clip may only have one
but I have not seen one thats not snapped off.

Sorry Graeme. Had hoped these might work but see what you mean. Best of luck with the search
