Removed my rubber strips covering sills and have found holes where A panel overlaps sills.

When I remove A panel am I likely to find sill holed too? Anybody had this problem and can offer advice? Part numbers? Dealer discounts on genuine panels?

Also holed where rear wing attaches to sill, is it time for a for new wings?

Cheers Andy

Hi,
This panel can be bought from Mercedes. You need to remove the following parts:

* Front door
* Front wing
* Lower alu list alongside "water gutter" in front of the door.

Use a 10mm HSS drill to "grind" each spot weld together with grinder, hammer and chissel.

when you remove front wing you have the bolts that run along the top. you also have 2 larger bolts inside the wing attaching it to the bulk head.
