Smile GLC Rear Fender Trim Removal and Installation

Had always wanted the flared rear fenders look and finally got hold of the parts numbers to order it via my local OEM MB parts dealer.

Wanted to install it myself so decided to research into how to do it. There are no instructions available online specific for the GLC.

Took me some effort to get hold of 2017 Mercedes-Benz WIS, referenced the instructions and the actual new fender trim I was replacing for locations of the tabs and clips.

Tried the replacement and completed the project within 60mins as I wanted to be as careful as possible so as to not break any tabs. Took some pictures of the process and made into a pictorial instructional video.


Hope those looking to swap out your rear fender trims find this useful!

Nice work. Any plans to do the front ones from a 63? I'd like to do them on mine.
How did you end up finding the part number? I wonder if in North America the parts would even be in the EPC system yet for the GLC63.
