    Retrofit automatic boot divider on c class cabriolet

    Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has retrofitted an automatic boot divider on a c class cabriolet? My car doesn’t have this option, but I’d really like it. I can’t seem to find anything on the net about this, so I just thought I’d ask here, Thanks 😀

    W205 steering wheel upgrade

    I’m thinking of doing this. Lots of videos online Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the colum and clock springs so the cruse controls will work on the wheel?

    To inflate or not to inflate...

    Thanks Guys, I had to be in the car for 5 hours or so, a few days ago... weirdly having the seat reclined hurts my shoulders (the tip of my shoulder blades) as they rub into the bolsters... I ended up pushing the seat forward and that helped... I've put a bit of lumbar support on, as @nas2021...

    To inflate or not to inflate...

    Hey everyone, I'm trying to get my seats on my W205 C250 setup so they don't "push" the top of my back. It seems that after about 45mins or so, I sink into the seat at the lumbar area, and that means it feels like the top of my back and shoulders are being pushed forwards. I have the lumbar...

    C class w204 seats

    Man, oh man, do I have a story of woe to tell.... So I thought I'd start by giving an update to this thread... After much whinging to Mrs. Coolhand, she took the car off me for a week and used it to drive to work. Then she gave it back to me with the seat positioned much higher and closer to...

    C class w204 seats

    Thanks for all advice... I went for the standard soam/frame swap of the seat-back. It really helped! The man at the Mercedes Benz dealership who did it for me told me there was no damage in the old frame/foam, but the effect was instant. The lumbar support is miles better. Its still not as...

    What type of garage should look for to do that? A body shop?

    C class w204 seats

    Hi again, After quite a bit of playing around with the seat pan, I have managed to get the seat into a position that stood my head touching the restraint. The problem was that the seat pan was tilted all the way forward. Tilting it back fixed the problem. However, I have an issue with my...

    C class w204 seats

    Let me start by explaining that I love my car, I spend 4 hours a day in it. I love that it makes the burden of driving easier by having so many automatic functions. However, I can't seem to setup the seats so that I don't get back pain. The issue seems to be the headrests. They push my head...

    Pre safe warning - missing panel

    Hi all, My car (C class c200 w204) went into the garage because of a warning when I started saying "pre safe non operational" I was told that they ran a diagnostic on all the pre safe components and a software update was required. When my car came back, the boot underside interior trim panel...

    Boot interior panels

    It's actually the underside of the top of the boot, as in this picture. Btw, anyone know why they would take this panel off for access to diagnose a warning about "pre safe" not operational

    C class Exhausts

    Hi all, Is it possible to replace the w204 c200 exhaust for the w204 c220 exhaust. I really just care about the trim on the end, is it possible to change this trim only? Cheers, Luke

    Boot interior panels

    Hi all, What is the technical name for the "cladding", "lining" or "carpet" panels that line the inside of the boot? My car went into the garage with all the panels in place and came out with one missing and I need the vocabulary to complain. Cheers, Luke

    C-class handling, is this normal?

    I noticed that the condition I described only occurs when the steering wheel is adjusted to max height. When it's lowered the symptoms get gradually better until at the min height, they are completely gone!

    C-class handling, is this normal?

    I have a 2011 w204 c class. I'm really happy with it but the handling is very odd and I was hoping other owners could tell me if it's normal. I do a lot of motorway driving and I find the car is constantly pulling in one direction or the other. When the road cambers or if there is any crown...
