Hard to find interior pics

It was hard for me to get good pics of interiors not on MBUSA.COM. I assembled these, hope it helps others.

I'd like to do that too. Was there any damage after removal to fix? My dealer isn't too sure about removing them.

It was simple. Dealer did it, looks great. Think they used a hair dryer to heat up the glue..

I removed the V8 Biturbo side badges from my GL63. Used the hair dryer and dental floss method.

I was torn between black or silver.

Gl350 amg 2013
Got mine at the weekend, GL350 BLUETEC AMG SPORT - we only get 2 models in the UK, everything is great but had to add a few things to make it nice, still not convinced about the colour I chose, Diamond White - it doesn't seem to have been painted all over the car, the door pillars seem plain white.

Very happy with my 2013 GL350BT. Options are:

-Iridium Silver/black Artico/Black roof liner
-Premium pkg
-Driving assist
-AMG Sport Appearance pkg
-Anthracite Poplar wood trim
-roller blinds for rear side windows....love it for $250
-power EasyEntry into 3rd row (I don't believe that this was available on earlier orders. The 2nd row is power down, but not power up
-RSE

By discount was only $2K. Ordered in Jan 2013. Deliver late June 2013

There is a puzzling hesitation/bucking when I first accelerate when left over night. Then it disappears. Bringing it in for service for the 3rd time in order to rectify.

2021 GLS580 all black. 2014 GLK black (kids car). formerly: 2014 GL550 Palladium Silver (US)
US GL550
Palladium
Auburn/black - (two color seats not as pronounced as pictures show)
Anthracite poplar (love it - really does look piano black)
Panorama roof (with power rear vent)
On/off-road pkg
Active curve
Trailer hitch
Pre wiring entertainment
Driver assistance pkg
Heated steering and third seat

Dealer removed rear badges on our request.
Dealer added MB branded weathertech and ordering one for third seat. They snap in if you removed the carpet mats.

Ordered 6/7 with expected Nov Allocation.
Late July, Was told that it was Bumped to Oct 1st Decade.
Built 10/11. Delivered 10/16.

Seats slightly stretched out a little, but not a major issue.
The glass roof over 3rd seats has a removable shade now. It's a fixed shape - like a mesh drying rack sort of. Not sure what you'd do with it if you removed it.

Will have it Opti-coated next week.

Tried the Distronic on a short trip yesterday. Worked great except when following in a long line of traffic, people would pass me on right and pull in between the space.

Love the color combo.

Now trying to figure out what to do for winter wheels and tires - these won't do.

TO me, it looks universal. It has 4 tabs that slide into the groove left by the roof liner where it meets the glass. 2 tabs on the one side are stationary. The other two rotate in/out with a lever so you can put it in without bending it.

I personally think tinted UV glass would be better so you can see out. I'm not sure under what conditions you would take it off and where you would put it.

I agree with the tinting suggestion. That is not a very elegant solution MB came up with

Hi Jim,
Do you like the 20 inches wheels? how do they handle our snow? Dealer tells me car drivesa bit rougher with 20 inches. Appreciate your insights.
Thanks

I am confused. If you order the brown designo, do you get the brown dash or is that another option on top?
