First-time MB owner!!

What's up forum members. Recently traded in my '09 Dodge Avenger for my '09 C300 Luxury (pics up soon). As a new MB owner, I have a lot of questions!!! But if you guys can help me, I would really appreciate it .

I bought the car at 53xxx miles..and I know with these cars, you HAVE to be on top with the maintenance. What type of servicing should I do at this point?

My passenger side windows comes down every time i put it up to close. Not completely, but just a crack...as if it picks up something blocking it. What do you guys think?

Last but not least....the front bumper. I have the luxury edition bumpers and would really like to put a lip on the front. I've heard this isn't possible...can you all enlighten me with the correct answer?

I'm REALLY sorry about the long thread, but I found it easier to post in one thread..as I'm still learning about it.

THANKS!!!!

Your window issue should be fixed with a simple reset. There's a procedure in the manual you can easily do yourself.

Servicing: do you have a service history from the previous owners? Several important things should have been done at this point. Transmission fluid. Brake fluid, twice. Cabin air filter. There's a maintenance manual that should've come with the car, otherwise find it on MBUSA.com and take a look.

No idea about the bumper thing.

Manual for maintenance, if they have been on track it would be due for a A service at 50,000, may need brake fluid flush and cabin or air filters depending on driving conditions and age as well.

For the windows
