CLK63 AMG
Just bought a warranty....5 years for anything 'cept brakes, tires, normal maint.....3700 bucks for 5 years/60,000m.
It covers TSB's for a $100 deductible. That will get my valve buckets and head bolts replaced before they break. plus anything else that we need within 5 years.
I feel better now!

CLK 63 AMG
3.7K seems a small price to pay for piece of mind. I may have just missed your car in Easton PA. A 13K car blue with light interior was available and I drove out from RI to evaluate it. The car sold during my drive to the dealer. It was headed to Texas that day. Absolutely gorgeous color. At least I got to see it

Redcab,
Out of the 143 they imported, most seem to be silver, black or red. The one you're talking about is the only other blue one i've seen or heard of. Mine came fron N. C. I set the cruise control and passed through 18 different speed traps getting back to Tx.
I did have a lapse of sanity when a new Camaro SS pulled up next to me and wanted to play. The CLK63 promptly blew his doors off.
Don't give up your search...these cars are simply awesome.

My search continued and 2 months or so later, a silver over black CLK 63 became my beloved Brunhilde. The car is 2008 and had 14K on the odometer. I gave up the light interior and parktronic features of the blue cab, but I have come to love this car as equipped. All is well that ends well. I'm pleased your CLK 63 has found a good home with someone who appreciates it.

07 CLK63
Noobie here, got a 07 clk63 cab that I love a few months ago and it's driving me nuts trying to change the dash clock for daylight savings. I don't know if it matters, but I have navigation, so no clock on that screen. The only setting options I have are Instr cluster, Lighting, vehicle, convience
Can anyone help someone confused....

07 E63 + 07 CLK63CAB
On the speedo under the instru,cluster, the next down is time date, use the + or - to get to that selection then use the Up arrow or down arrow to set time/date, the + and - will change the time when pushed there is also a synchronization that will change the time automatically if you go through a time zone change, this is a function that is only avail with nav. Once the speedo face show the right time the clock will move to the selected time.
This is for my E as it was closer to get the manual, pg 168. The CLK63 should be similar.

I had to adjust to eastern time zone (I live in MN) to change the time in the center console screen. My navigation is only updated to 2011, so it probably didn't realize daylight savings start time changed a few years ago. Thank you guys for the help!

My command menu only has inst cluster, lighting, vehicle, and convience, no time change. It's only in the navigation menu within my navigation, I had to put I lived in eastern time zone for it to change an hour ahead.

well I'm sure there's a way to set it... not every problem goes in even hours lol
I think I hit a physical button on the left... "SYS" maybe? I've seen pictures of a "SERV" button, so maybe that one? Then it was the top left menu (inner) button.

2008 CLK63 Cabriolet, 2018 GLE 350
I've had my 2008 CLK63 cabrio for about 2 months now. Took me ~3 years to find the right one but when I saw this baby with 19K miles for 42K (final price after dealing and wheeling 38.5K) I had to jump on it.
Loving everything about it so far, except for an odd dashboard problem I just posted https://mbworld.org/forums/clk55-amg...-behavior.html and 100 bucks for a hand stitching top repair on the rear window edge I have had no problems with it.
I still have a stupid grim every morning when I hit the start button and hear that low rumble behind me...

147 were made for North America in 2007, there are many more in Europe where they also offered the coupe version. But you definitely won't see many on the road in the states. The interior trim is aluminum, not plastic, and it came standard. I have a CLK55 but my seat cooler also turns on automatically when I use the key fob to put the top down, its a standard thing. You can buy a chip for you key fob that lets you control the top from a distance with one click. It will also let you raise the speed limit for putting the top down.
My soft top is separating by the rear window like yall mentioned. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing it before it gets worse?

Congrats again for the buy, yes that CLK63Cab does bring a fella into permagrin, wife wants hers out soon today finally 10C but rain tomorrow, will wash some more grim off the roads. Anyways your dashboard issue sounds like a main connection in the back of the cluster is loose or perhaps a bad thing the circuit board inside is cracked, try to get to the back of the cluster and check for secure connections. Have not experienced any such behavior in our cars. As a kind gesture could you post a picture of your top convertible fix with the hand stitching, a friend of mine is a leather saddle builder and wants to sew the seam for me, we were just looking for some stitch that will hold with the stress of the taut fabric. Was it a blind stitch or did he have to remove the inside liner to accomplish this feat. Such a beautiful car and the top has this 3 inch separation starting, AHHHHH!
Thanks in Advance

BTW, all the manuals can be found here http://www.mbusa.com/mercedes/servic...lass=CLK-Class It's a lot easier to search a PDF than to brouse through the hard copy.

Mine was easy to do as it was on the side not the top. Lowering the top half-way allowed him to get at it. It is visible if you get up close but at 3K for a full top replacement it's a no brainer.
