C300 W205
Is this a warranty issue ?

1 month now with my C300...........

When I am driving I tend to rest my left elbow on the door right below the window line of the door. When my elbow makes contact with the door or when I move the wheel and my elbow shifts against the door, there is a crunching noise that sounds as if I'm putting pressure on styrofoam. It's obviously the insulation in the door, does anyone else experience this and do you think it would be a covered repair?

Thanks

What are you wanting repaired? Elimination of the noise when you push on the door panel?

Sounds normal to me but if it bugs you, ask service about it.

Is there pain and swelling as well? Tennis elbow?

Have you tried to ice the affected area?

Not everyone here has CFG's level of warmth, empathy and compassion I'm afraid. But we all work on it, every day.

I happened to think of this while I was waiting at a light today, so I tried it. To answer your questions:
1) Yes, mine does it too
2) No, I don't think it will be covered under warranty. That would be like asking if rapping my knuckles on the hood making a metallic thud would be covered under warranty

You are likely right: if the components meet the design spec, either in workmanship or material, it won't be an express warranty issue.

Yes, so it would appear. Oh, the irony of it all....

Oh course, some of us are retired, and simply enjoy the challenge.

But don't push that hard on the rest. Was it there before?

Geez, Pilgrim, what's the frequency....


So, OP, I reckon you'll get no empathy, here.

Well, OP, I hope you find a repair.

As for the photo, isn't that the guy that got fired for assault?

I'm just sayin'....
