Description
The little plastic caps that close off the top of the B pillar trim on the front doors of my W164 ML350 Mercedes were missing, and the sole replacement I was able to source at the local dismantlers was disintegrating in my hands while I tried to extract it. But, enough was left that I could model a replacement/substitute part. Not perfect but better than the gaping opening that was there before.
Print in ABS/ASA or PETG but not PLA, it won't hold up in the sun. I smoothed the visible surface a bit with some acetone on a paper towel and used a little daub of clear adhesive on the back to install. Test fit in case you need to file a little, what worked on my car may not work on yours.
