Step 1
Know exactly what part you need. This makes it easier to locate the part. Check out owner's manuals and books about your make and model of station wagon to learn what the part is called, its item number and if it requires multiple pieces.
-
Step 2
Decide if you want to deal with someone in person or if you want to find your station wagon parts online. Locating a distributor in your area may require some travel. Figure this into the cost of the project. It may be more practical to have a part shipped directly to you.

Step 3
Ask trusted friends for recommendations or talk to people who have cars similar to yours. Sometimes the best resource for station wagon parts is the guy down the block with a similar vehicle.

Step 4
Look for services offering foreign car parts, like a foreign auto parts website. Once you access the website, enter the year and make of your station wagon to narrow your search. The site then provides a list of possible parts available. Once you locate the desired station wagon parts, either pay online with a credit card or with PayPal. This is an easy way to obtain parts, but it forces you to miss the important step of examining the part in person before you purchase it. This complicates matters if the part is damaged or is not what you expected.
