I’m trying to replace the roof rails on my smart 450 convertible. My current ones are rusting and the seals on the right side rail are bad. I guess I could do a rust repair and a repaint, but I’d rather just have ones that I know aren’t bad.
These suckers are pretty pricey on eBay, but I don’t know where else to source them from. For $200 I’d rather just spend the $20 it would take to repair the rust and repaint my current ones.

I’d prefer black, but silver is also okay. These parts are not likely to be found anywhere in America for reasonable prices, so I’m hoping our Canadian readers know of a few sites to find parts off wrecked cars?

This, right here. It’ll probably be over a bill just to ship.
No idea where to source used Smart parts, but if you happen to find what you’re looking for and it happens to be local to me I’d be happy to help you out if I can.

Dammit.
Buy a rare car that needs restoration I said, they were sold in Canada so parts will be cheap, I said.

Maybe I’ll have to do a very rigorous cleaning then restore of my current ones, then.

1. Try asking on benzworld.
2. Considering size and shipping cost, think about a road trip to Toronto.

*Sigh* Yeah, if it’ll require a road trip, I’d rather just fix it and paint it myself. Could make for a decent addition to my future YouTube series! :)
