Yep, my car's PO didn't bother fixing the passenger mirror, sunroof, passenger seat switch etc... probably because he didn't want to pay $80/hr for labour. I was able to find used parts on ebay for <$100 and do them all in 3-4 hours. Anything you'd ever want to do has been done & documented 20 times on mercedesshop.com. There are some serious DIYers over there. Then again, maybe we should start filling in the gaps on the PelicanParts Mercedes forum
