Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum and this is actually my first thread/comment! I am looking into buying a clk55 amg 2003 with 60k miles from a dealership and have a few questions to ask.

- The glove compartment is not shutting all the way and hangs down a little on the left side (also, hard to close it) Does this usually happen? is it expensive to fix?

- Armrest compartment only opens towards the drivers side and doesn't budge to open for the passengers side. Is this a usual issue? easy fix?

- Also, I will attach the image below of the rims. They are 19' rims. Who are those made by? A link would also be helpful!!

- Passenger side back wheel, when we hit bumps... it would hit the bottom of the car on the side and scratched the tire on the side a little. What could be the cause?

Thanks for the replies!!! would be much appreciated.

P.S. - I kind of stumbled upon this car during my car search and falling in love with it the more I read about it. Test drove it today. That sucker was QUICK.

I had the dealer look at my glove box. Tighten latch - no parts $116! But fixed it. No way I was going to leave it that way.

I notice my glovebox sags a bit also. Never bothered having it fixed.
The center armrest should open to both sides easily. I'd say it can be fixed but at what cost? lol

Enjoy your W209! It is a fun car!

You should tell us what latch they tightened! I am definitely not going to take it to the dealer for a small fix like this, I would rather DIY it.

Oh and by the way, it turns out the back tires hitting the car on bumps while speeding up (really fast) is actually happening because the tire tread that some idiot put on the rims is too big... 900 dollar tires and couldn't get it right.

Hey Everyone who was in here b4,

I fixed my glovebox "sag". I would like to share some info on how to fix this... easiest fix of my life.

Steps:
1.) Take the metal piece that the glove box entry "door" clings onto when closing it and see if it wobbles back and forth. If it does, than continue. If not than there maybe another problem with your glovebox.

2.) Take out the cd changer out of the glove box (It is attached to three strips of velcro, so the way I took it out is by sliding a long screw driver under neath it and pulled on the cd changer.. be gentle though)

3.) Take a small "+" screwdriver and tighten the bolt that goes through the bottom of that metal latch piece. Make sure it is pushed back and even with the sides.

4.) Disconnect the wires from the cd changer and make sure that the fix worked by closing the glovebox. If not, play around with it a little. If it worked, plug the wires back into the cd changer and put it back into place.

5.) Close the glove box.

6.) Stare at the glove box for 15 minutes with joy.

7.) Go back into your house, get on your Computer and leave a "thanks" comment in my thread. lol.
