I have pretty worn steering wheel on my 05 CLK500 with a shifter buttons on the back and I have a wheel from 06 CLK350 with a wood trim in much better shape without the buttons.
- is it possible to modify the 06 CLK350 steering wheel to accomodate the buttons from 05 CLK500?
- if the above modification is not possible - is direct wheel swap possible with a deletion of the buttons (I think no one is using them anyway )?

 

You do not need them to be there. I would say you could do the mod to. depends on how handy you are or how much money you have to spend.

 

I’m not looking to spend even a penny since i have all the parts. I didn’t remove CLK500 wheel yet so I cannot compare if the wheel core is the same or not. If it’s the same than swap should be pretty easy, but if the molds for the wheels been different- not worth trying.
So I guess the question remains- if the cores are the same or not...
