More question from a new owner...

Again, since I'm the second owner for this C55 I'm not sure if I have gotten everything.

I know sometimes what the manual says is not accurate.

1) Should I have a protective wrap (plastic bag) and gloves under the spare tire?
2) Is the front head restraint tool the same as the tool to manually operate the moonroof?

Been reading the manual if you're wondering where I'm getting all of this.

My C32 came with little white gloves in the spare tire well. Can't help you with the rest.

fine, i get the joke. no asking stupid questions here on this forum.

yeah i know about the little button above, but not every dealer will take you in at first sign of trouble. i do live in a city (outside parking) and may have to close the moonroof one day if the motor breaks.

i'm not asking about how to close it, just about the tools and if anyone else seen it.

tough crowd

thanks

the tool for manually closing the moonroof should be in the glove compartment. it's a thin metal rod with some kinks in it. if you don't have it, no need to buy one. just borrow it from the next loaner car you get
