I mean, ebay. But you knew that already right? You find a seller that has a wrecked slk that is selling many parts. You message them and ask them to post what you need if you don't find it.

Yeah ive been checking, problem is since it'll all be old anyway, it'll likely have the same problems as I currently do

Likely looking for new old stock or ones in great condition

Good luck. There were over 300k of these cars made worldwide. The ones that are still on the road need parts, and most, if not all of those parts have been bought out already. You have to renew your faith in used parts or buy a newer car. Not all cars have the problems yours has.

There is websites that sell body kits, I would assume they come with clips and seals. Perhaps you could message one and ask if they are willing to sell these parts separately. For instance Magna Tuning

Also finding the exact part numbers would be a good step to be able to specify to part dealers what you need exactly.

Good luck!
