Defects in Your CLK

You have my complete sympathy. You can see from my earlier posts that I am also quite unhappy with all of the defects I've had to deal with regarding my own 320.

Good luck. It'll probably be the next thing that goes wrong with my car.

How fast are you accelerating, braking and turning? Maybe that's your neck clicking from all the g-forces :-)
Happy holidays

I've had that problem now for months, if not years...

From what I've read on other posts, it has to do with the railings that the seats are situated on. And apparently it is a design/engineering flaw b/c many people have changed out the seat railings, just to have the squeaking return later.

My friend took his to the local dealership here in Pasadena and they said they had a "work around" fix for it and charged him $250 for the 2 front seats (yikes!) but his seats no longer squeak...
