Front doors lost their THUMP sound :( ('02 C240)
Mainly the driver's door. It had that characteristic MB thump sound when you shut it for the first month of ownership. Now it sounds like my Ford Cown Vic's door 
I assume something has just losened up. Anyone ever have their dealer "fix" something like this? The rear doors still sound cool when they shut

This has been covered before. You must get the extended warranty to get the door thump sound.

After cutting the roof off a C, the rest of your radical mods don't really cut the mustard.

Or buy a Lexus. MB doesn't have the solid "thunk" any more. Esp. in the C and ML cars.

We looked at a Lexus IS300. It's doors are super thin like other Toyotas, and sound like a metal trashcan lid closing
