eBay... found weather shields for all 4 doors , to fit GLC.
NOT CHEAP, From Taiwan.

Realise, not every ones " cup of tea", but it allows me to leave windows open a bit in all weather, ESP on really hot days.
Just placed an order, hopefully good quality.

Thanks Penn,
As an aside I did get a quote from my MB dealer for acoustic glass, around $1000 to fit.
Funny still not an option when placing an order.

Well we visited our MB dealer last night and inspected the new GLC Coupe, utterly brilliant ! Looked nice online, but was worried what it would be in the flesh – very impressed. Our order build date is 11Dec at this stage. They had a sliver 250d and a black one as well, not sure of specs. The silver one had a drive away sticker of $110k, most extras, but not air suspension, 3 month wait is going to be sooo long to wait ! The floor stock should be sold by Monday, my guess.
This is a nice read: GLC Coupe review.... (I love the diamond grill)

I suspect, that in the last 3 months the opposition, have been di$counting to address the GLC.
Given that I don't have a complete set of numbers for all vehicles, so added in a fudge number for the missing detail, let’s say approximate 12 month totals of:
GLC 5000
X3 4400
Q5 4500
Disco 4900
So if the factory supply to Oz is halved, we would see about 2000-2500 GLC's next year, or about 200 a month.
MB will slip down the sales figures, and many unhappy people wanting a great car, but MB cannot deliver.
..but then on the other side of the coin, our vehicles will probably hold their value a little more as they become more 'exclusive' ...lol.
Thanks Phil.

Looked at the tyres on the GLC Coupe.
Front 255/45ZR20 105Y – XL – MO
Rear 285/40ZR20 108Y – XL – MO
Michelin, Green X, Latitude Sport 3.
Marking of MO indicated designed especially for MB.
Interesting observation in boot, MB supply a portable compressor and tyre goo in a can to repair a flat. No spare.
Biggest surprise is tyres appear to NOT be runflats. No tyre marking of traditional MOEXTENDED or Michelin id of ZP that indicates runflats.
Sales staff stated they were run flats, but after researching Michelin data I am convinced they are "normal tyres", definitely not MOE runflats that are standard on the GLC wagon.
So the new Coupe in Oz has normal tyres, no spare, but compressor and goo, did not see a jack in boot though.

Thanks Swatty.
The photo and price was an example of what was around on a Release Day, here in Melbourne re Coupe.
Spoke with our Dealer yesterday and our Coupe is being built today, 11Dec, yip yah.
Hopefully in 57 days after Monday it will be landed in Melb- then we wait for inspection and dock clearances. Coupe on collection will go directly after we sign for it to Auto Alchemy for David to work on interior and exterior treatment and protection.

An interesting article from 12 months ago re GLC and MB deciding to make a right hand drive for a number of markets, incl Oz. China and Finnish factories and how GLC, and the Coupe are having positive effect on world sales.

Would like to have an update on those 2015 figures for 2016...!

GLC220D Exclusive
New Irish Member
Howdy Folks.. new to all this forum stuff, so i will be reading more often than posting. Collected my new Black GLC220D Exclusive about two weeks ago. First SUV....I always drove 520D BMW so still learning. My GLC came with 18" Yokohama Tyres (not runflats) with a little gadget in the boot for fixing punctures or phone number to call for roadside help....
Everything in Ireland appears to be an extra with the Exclusive range..
That's my bit for now.....

Welcome GLC220Exclusive.
This is a good forum, well laid out with specific topics. Unfortunately not much RHD or Diesel issues, but overall good to gain a better understanding and good for support and sharing.
In Oz we have this site,
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/foru...t=2542916&p=64
Good overall info, RHD and diesel info as well, but you have to stay on to follow as topics change with each post sometimes.
Enjoy your MB, we are too first owners of MB and I am very happy, just travelled 21000km since March 2016.
Wife has ordered a GLC Coupe as well, in diesel.
Cheers from Oz.
