| Part location help- Threaded taillight pan grommets
I have been looking around all evening and would really appreciate a hand. 2011 G - the taillight pan screws go into grommets with threaded metal inserts that pop into the body sheet metal. Mine are bad and need replaced. I found something that looks similar at 4 x 4 Club "Mercedes G-Class Tail Lights Hardware Kit" but not the same - mine have a groove that pops into the sheet metal like most grommets do. Where in the world am I gonna find these. Any help/advice appreciated! Thanks, namsag. |

Thanks. Unfortunately, they're an hour and a half away, and they have not been that helpful in the past.
I tried to get a media interface cable from them, the guy says "I think that may be the one." He could not show me a picture of it, and would not order it to try without my paying in advance, in full, non-refundable.
I hate to think what would happen with these grommets. |

I am not 100% positive, but try to google A0009880625 or 0009880625, that may be the what you're looking for |

Similar problem with my local MB dealer. Numerous times I have gone in looking for a replacement part and have them tell me that part is only in European market.
I have had good luck taking a picture of the piece I need that I do not know the technical name for and emailing to vendor like 4x4parts and asking for price and availability. You would be surprised what the vendors know and are able to get ahold of. Try it.

Dutch, that's the idea, as was ychung's post, but it doesn't look exactly like that. I have been in contact with Tracy at that site and sent pics on Fri afternoon, guess I will hear back something on Monday. Thanks, namsag. |

My experience is that frequently parts do not look exactly as they are shown on the EPC or dealer parts diagrams. At the price of those inserts, they're probably worth a try. I would. |
