C230 Sport Coupe
Trick hood!
This is so cool! When you open the hood of the C230, check out the right hydraulic support. There's a red button that says "Push." When you push the button, you can raise the hood to a full 90 degrees! What a great idea!

I have a C230K Sport Coupe, I can't get that red button to release. Is there some trick to it?
I tried with the hood partially open and fully open but pushing in the red button does nothing.

If they couldn't raise the hood all the way up, how would they drop in a replacement engine? =)

They would take the hood off...

yea ren is right, its different on the w211 though. i wish there was a "push button" on the w211 you have to push a small latch on one side, then go to the other side and do the same.
