Quickjack Use on W205 2018 C63s
Does anyone have experience using the standard (not extended) Quickjack on their W205 C63s Coupe? I have the standard model still in the box. Will I need to purchase the extensions for the Quickjack to reach the factory jack locations? I looked through the old topics on this forum but there is no mention of the W205.

I’ve been meaning to order one and a vendor was doing a flash sale but I was also uncertain on which model to buy. By weight the blx-5000 appears to be the correct one although I haven’t taken lift point measurements.

If your car is lowered it may cause problems because the extensions add about 1.5” to the height of the quick jack. My car was stock sedan height so it worked with no issues.
You will also need the pucks that fit into the MB jack points on the car.
Hope this helps you.
One more thing...the extensions fit extremely tight...it was not a drop in affair...took a lot of coaxing to get it on there

I am wondering if it will be safe to lift vehicle on pinch welds with QuickJack. I have a long wheel base on my GL and non on QJ have reach them out. However, QJ customer service suggested to place the rubber mats under pinch welds to lift the car. Is that safe? Any ideas?

Pinch weld is covered by running board plastics. I can put the solid rubber blocks that came with the quick jack. The main question is if the pinch weld is strong enough for this operation.

I think the weld weld is strong enough either way but it’s more stable and safer to use the slotted blocks or the solid plus the puck.

When you remove the plastic cover is it an actual pinch weld or is it a rectangular slot? If it’s just a pinch then I would use the slotted blocks from quick jack. If it’s the slot then use the pucks on the solid block.

It is an actual pinch weld, not rectangular slot. Unfortunately, I cannot remove the plastic easily since it will require to remove the running board first. I think I can just put the slotted blocks on top of the plastics. That plastic sits on the pinch weld. It can be deformed a little bit but I don't think it is going to be much. The only worry if the pinch weld and the area around it will handle the weight of the vehicle.

If you can think of any other questions just post up and I'll do my best to help. I've lifted 4 different vehicles with my quick jack and the prevailing idea is, if it looks like it might be a bad idea...it is a bad idea. Stay safe sir and let me know if I can help further.

Wow. That is a very small exposed area. Do a test fit with the slotted rubber block if you can get it on there I think it will work...I also think you will crack some of the plastic surrounding the pinch weld. Mercedes makes it hard for us to wrench on these ourselves.

There is no way that pinch weld can fit into slotted rubber blocks there unless I will remove plastic covers of the running boards. It also will not make sense to lift the car with QJ if it requires to take off running boards in order to lift the car. I can try to use solid blocks to place them on top of the plastic covers. However, I am not sure the area around pinch welds is consistently strong everywhere to handle the weight of the vehicle. Perhaps, I should consider to build a custom extension or just not to buy QJ at all.

So I just used the jack and placed it in the small area to lift it. Just have a ladder right under that rail area just in case. It didn’t budge at all

C63s, the good sounding one
Could you tell me what the brand of rear brake pads you used are? Have you been satisfied with their performance?
I’ve replaced my front pads and reduced brake dust to almost zero. Rear pads seem very difficult to locate and are ridiculously expensive.
