A gaggle of MB's
Avoid internet seller "rip off's" - get a quote from your MB dealer - mine was $70 and took about 8 days to come in at that time from Germany. Add a can of Fix-A-Flat.
Now - that said - there is one jacking point each side - under the doors - it's a "rubber stop" and since you are jacking from the center - some feel it's best to have a hydraulic/pump jack rather than the MB crank type..

Thanks for this. Saves a ton of time.
I read the spare wheel thread four times now, still confused... What tire will fit under the cover that comes un-inflated or is small enough to fit but right for a 2018 GLC 300 4? I don't want to restart the runflat discussion by any means, but living in Chicago metro area, I've now burst 4 sidewalls on run flats through potholes. Last time, Mercedes road side assistance took 6 hours to get me a truck! (brought one within 2 hours, he had wrong dealer destination and would not take me, had to call for a second truck... same guy eventually came back - busy night I guess). So I'm a believer in RFT, ok with the noise and harsheness, but I want a spare.
Thank you in advance for just providing part numbers and ideally where to get them.

Just so I don't start a new thread, here is what I have now found. The first number is what is touted here, the second number (as noted) is from the UK brochure for the 2018 GLC accessories. The tools - probably don't matter as much as the wheel, they appear the same and really aren't the big issue. The wheel, however, is a PITA to ship, the brochure one has been debated on whether it fits underneath the cover or not (in Australia many have mentioned it gets put in the bag on top of the cover, in other posts, one says no fit, no close of floor, other says yes it can if you put it in just right. Also - the brochure listed wheel is more than 2x the price at about $600.
I prefer the GLK wheel (at least I think that's where it's from) plus a compressor for compactness. Does it really work? And what is the part number for the lugs needed for this? Seems either wheel doesn't come with bolts...

2019 GLC 300 4Matic
What were they thinking with the space under the trunk? I thought that without a spare, they could have made the space into a nice cargo compartment but it's so disorganized and useless. I recently opened mine for the first time and found some random stuff thrown in there. A collapsible plastic crate and a random luggage mesh thing.
I understand the concept of run flats but they are def not as smooth and comfy as my other MBs that had Michelin or Continental tires. You can feel the harsh suspension in the GLC. Maybe I should have gotten the suspension package which was discontinued? I only have 18" tires...perhaps that is the problem?

I have 19" tires. The run flat tires from Pirrelli were horrible? Noisy, not comfortable. lasted only 17k miles. After that I opted for "normal" Michelin tires, I more than happy with their performance so far (5k miles). As you I understand the concept of run flat tires, but given my experience and choice I would never opted for them. I have an inflator kit (fix-it) right now in my boot and am trying to get a spare tire. An uphill battle. Not sure why MB does not sell it in US? Lawyers? Litigations? Stupidity? Not sure.

Fingers crossed - my order for spare and jack kit is "processing" ... when I went into dealer, they said they could get it in 3 days, so that seems possible. But until it arrives, it's still an imaginary item

2019 GLC300 4matic
I am about to own a 2019 GLC 4matic with 18" wheels. We have had dedicated snow tires and wheels for the vehicle being replaced - 2005 Highlander and I am not a fan of RFT snow tires.
I mentioned this to the salesman and he said Porsche's don't come with RFT or a spare. Instead they have a compressor and "fix a flat slime".
Reading on a 911 forum, many recommended using a plug vs the slime.
If I can't get a donut, I am now thinking about getting a compressor and both the plug kit and the slime..
Here's a link to a page from a Marcon owner's manual and an Amazon page selling the plug kit.

Fred, tire is on the way out for delivery today. I'll test it in the next two days (as after that, garage is being knocked down to build a new one!) So you should have your answer soon.
Regardless, plugs are awesome. I ride a motorcycle too and never go longer than a simple commute (sometimes then too) without my plug and inflator kit. It's super small, like 1x2x2 in size plus the plugging tool which is like a compact screwdriver. Then you need a compressor (for the bike I get 3 big CO2 carts). It still won't save you in a sidewall issue - neither will slime - but it's something. And I suggest pick plugs OR slime - they pretty much do the same, though slime makes mess inside the wheel so when it's time to get it fixed you will probably be charged a bit extra and your pressure sensor may need replacing depending on how the slime goes.

Jack for 2017 GLC300
Hi appreciate some help on this subject. The dealer says the model is A166580-0118 for the jack.
i found the part on line. It seems that it may fit but what do the numbers mean? Also GLC300 weighs 1700 kg. Is this the correct part?

Its only intended to lift a corner so only about 1/4 of the weight of the vehicle so a 1335kg capacity should be fine. Tag on jack has 253 under Models which is the GLC (see this forum name).
