Adaptor for "trolley" jack to fit W213 (2018)
Does anyone sell an adaptor to fit the underside of the W213 to allow a trolley jack to lift the car safely. It appears that you could use a piece of 2 by 4, but there is not enough clearance for the jack to fit under with the 2 by 4 in place. I don't want a part that is flimsy or dangerous. I might have to make this piece,.... (as I have done on other cars, but would rather buy one that fits perfectly, if possible).... I like to remove the wheels on occasion to clean the brake dust and other debris from the wheels..then wax the wheels so the dust and dirt don't stick. .....everyone should have a hobby! Thanks.!

I remove the wheels once a year on each of my daily drivers and clean and wax them as you do. This takes me around 3-4 hours per car (I do one car per weekend), but the wheels look great!

Thanks Long Islander......I have gone ahead and ordered one of these adaptors from Reverse Logic. I appreciate your suggestion. I grew up on "the Island", and moved to Florida many years ago....I lived in Plainview and Selden.. I don't miss the snow, but I do miss the people. Thanks again.

Hello NOMRW8NG........I contacted Reverse Logic yesterday and spoke with a gentleman whose name I believe to be "Fred". He stated that the correct part number is W205. He also stated that he hadn't updated his web site in a long time. In any event I ordered the W205, and it was supposedly shipped yesterday. I should have in a few days, and will "test fit" it and let everyone know how well it fits!

Hello All. The "ReverseLogic" jack pad adaptor for my 2018 E 300 (W213) arrived yesterday. It fits well into the jack spot under the car. Part number W205 is what I ordered. Will use it this weekend for the "final test".

Hi all.....Re: my 2018 W213 E300. Yesterday I took off all the wheel to clean and polish. The W205 part from ReverseLogic works as intended. You place the W205 part in place in the recess that Mercedes provides; the W205 part stays in place and you place the jack under it. Works as intended.
I like the solution that Arvid shows, and that should work as well...my only concern being that the wood might interfere with something under the body on the E300.....don't know for sure though.
Arvid: I see you have splash guards on your car. I ordered a set for my E300. Mercedes here does not sell them, so I got a set that came out of China. Low price=good.....Poor fit, did not install=not good. Does Mercedes in Norway sell splash guards for the new E300?
(By the way, my wife and I were in Norway a few short years ago. What a beautiful country! A very well educated, intelligent society. Was very favorably impressed. The opera house in Oslo is amazing. The fjords are beautiful. The scenery is magnificent.....When I saw that was where you are, it brought back wonderful memories of our visit). We will return!
Let me know about the splash guards if you would. Thanks.

Hi again Arvid........and greetings from "tropical Florida"......today, 89F (31.7C)! Summer is coming.
Thank you for the pictures. I really like splash guards, as they do protect the paint. The wide tires on todays modern cars kick up a lot of dirt along the body. Your splash guards seem to fit very well. The splash guards I got from China seem to be made from a rubber like material. I didn't think that heat would bend the rubber where it would stay bent permanently.
Are your splash guards made from the rubber like material?
Were you able to use the top hole in the front splash guard to secure to the inner fender liner in the wheel well?
Did you use the "push/pins" that Mercedes uses to hold the inner fender in place, or did you use the screws and clips that came with the splash guards? (I don't see how the clips that were provide with the splash guards would work at all)
Thank you again.

I think I come to Florida with my -28 Chevrolet pick up.
+4'c and still 75 cm snow on the fields in Norway. But the spring are coming very fast now.
The splash I get are plastic. Easy to form with a hot air gun. After heating/cooling the shape will be permanently. The top hole on the front guard do not fit at all. I cutting it away. On one of the picture you can see how the plastic are folding around the inner edge of the fender. I think you scud try it. I do not use any of the screws and clips that come with the sets.I use the original Mercedes Push/pin
The sets come from a chinaman " Autobig"

Thanks Arvid for the great pictures. Your 1928 Chevrolet pick up is beautiful!
I looked carefully at the pictures of the splash guards, and it appears to be the same ones that I received, but from a different supplier. Mine are made of what I believe is called "poly plastic" It is flexible and feels like rubber. I will try to modify the splash guard to get the front to fit properly. Job for next weekend.
Thanks again.
