Add another one to the list... took all of about 15 minutes start to finsh. I think the key for me was a liberal use of WD-40. I love to look.

Adding to the comments below about stretching really hard, warming the new pedal cover up can help. Use a hair dryer to get it hot to the touch and then stretch it over the brake pedal.

For those with an 06 E350 (and from what I can tell at least the next couple of model years), the accelerator pedal that is called out as the part # in this thread will not work as a replacement. However, you can take the pad off the new accelerator pedal and put it on your existing pedal.

The part spec'ed out in this thread has a tail (the part that wraps up under & then slides into the base of the pedal assembly) that's about 3/8" shorter than the stock pedal. The top of the pedal has a pivot point where it attaches to the upper end of the pedal support with a pin. This point is about 1/2" lower than the stock's so you can't attach it to the pedal assembly base.

However, the aluminum & rubber dots are actually part of a rubber sleeve that slides over the plastic of the pedal. You can slip it off and do the same with the plain rubber pad covering the stock pedal. Then slip the new one on the stock pedal and you've got the update.

You can probably do that without removing the pedal from the pedal assembly base by removing the pin at the top, bending it down towards the floor and then working it off the pedal. Otherwise after removing the pin, remove the nut holding the pedal base assembly to the floor (there's a round plastic cap covering it about midway up the base - it's a 10mm nut) and then pulling the base assembly downward to get it free of where it slides up in the dashboard area. Underneath this is a trapezoidal plastic piece that has two pins in it to fit into the corresponding holes in the tail of the pedal. Pry that off and then slip the rounded plastic housing off the pedal base assembly & backward toward the pedal and the pedal will come free of the base & you can work on removing the rubber pad without having to be crouched under the car.

I have pictures if anyone wants to see some on how to do this.

DiggerJim is 100% correct.

I purchased the items for my 2009 e350 and the accelerator pedal wouldn't work. Besides being to short the pin hole wouldn't line up, it was located lower on the back side of the pedal than stock (ring vs. pinky finger). I've attached a few pictures showing the difference in the pedals, left is stock, right is the OEM Sport Replacement.

Fortunately, I was able to slide the new aluminum pedal cover off and place it onto the old. It was a pain to try to stretch the rubber on back of the new aluminum pedal over the hump because the aluminum doesn't move (obviously). So I used a small flathead screwdriver like a ramp to help guide the aluminum cover off (pic). The "strap" at the end of the pedal is held in place by a "plug" with two studs/posts that easily pops out and back in.

To soften the rubber I soaked my pedals in hot water.

While I was under there I cleaned everything really well.

I spent $58 in parts at the dealership (had a 15% off coupon). The online price was slightly better at $48 but I wasn't sure what the S&H portion would be because it didn't show up in the shopping cart.

The is a simple change with great visual impact that you can do in 30min.

Tools used: small flathead screwdriver, pump style pliers, 10mm socket

Glad I searched and found this thread, even though it's a couple years old.


It looks like you have the same part number for both the circle and oval rubber...


Can anyone confirm the all round rubber pads vs the oval pads?


Definitely something I'm going to do next week!


Thanks,

Welp answered my own questions..lol

Pulled the pedals right off of our CLK. Took all of 10 minutes, 7 of those being the gas pedal and that silly pin at the top.

w00t w00t for free nicer looking pedals.

Swapped over the black cheap plastic looking ones from the 211 to the 209!

These are the oval looking rubber nubs compared to the circles. Attached are part numbers for reference.

Will update when they are done drying (had to wash them they were filthy being 10 years old, but surprisingly they look brand new now!)

Parking Brake: A 230 430 00 84
Brake Pedal: A 230 290 0089
Gas pedal: A 230 300 00 82

So much nicer looking!

I forgot to add that I actually have a matching dead pedal from formymercedes in case someone wanted it to go with their round rubber pedals. I had it on our CLK even though the pedals were the oval rubber and it didn't look bad, but I am choosing not to install it in the w211 now so it's up for grabs if anyone is looking for one... Had I not been able to get the clk pedals off and ordered the round rubber pedals then I would definitely be installing this. Attached below. Comes with 4 s/s screws not pictured. PM me if there is any interest.




Thanks,

Picked up these covers from AliExpress for less than $11 - they fit perfectly and look great.
Just need to finish installing the gas pedal cover and I'll post pics.

Done - that was easy.



Floormats are temporary until I get new OEM ones from eBay.
