e350 Upgrade/Add-on/Accessory recomendations

Hi all,

New owner of a used 2011 e350 wagon and loving it so far. This is my first MB.

I was wondering what are your favorite upgrades or accessories that you have added to your MB?

Thanks

First time seeing the umbrella holder and front door storage pockets. The pockets are so expensive for what it is.. I am thinking about the umbrella holder tho. What I do now is i leave it on the left side floor of the driver seat. It is out of sight and easy to get whenever I need it.

Yeah that umbrella holder is pretty nice. I would get it myself it I had a sedan.

How do you like the XPEL? Would you recommend it?

Also interested in getting some better door pins. Did not realize that the back doors would be problematic.

I absolutely LOVE the XPEL, it has taken a beating from rocks, flying gravel and birds and returns to like-new with a quick cleaning. The scratches DO disappear by themselves and my car's exterior looks brand new. The XPEL across the rear number has also paid for itself as I load and unload stuff from trunk with no scratches. It is pricey, but I still would recommend it for long-term owner satisfaction.
