An Original Equipment Manufacturer might make other, lower quality parts, not necessarily to Original Equipment specs.

This is especially true with windshields, for example.

ATE is the OEM. These are what I bought from dealer. They are packed in Mercedes original box.

If the part number is correct, then ATE (the OEM) has provided you with a Mercedes OE part. (Splitting hairs, but to expand my earlier post.)

Unless it's counterfeit, which is unlikely, because of a small market. More likely with a Civic part.

you rock, I had the same question. Did you have any troubles spreading the pads from rotor? did you use any special tools to do that or just a screwdriver?

that was like 10 months ago, I almost forgot. But I did not have any trouble spreading out the pads. No special tools were used. I think just wiggled by hand and did not even use a screwdriver as did not wanna damage the rotor at all.

Edit: I updated the top post with some YouTube videos and hope that helps.

I'm assuming that these PDF's don't apply to a 2022 GLC 4MATIC?

I am at 55,000 miles with a 2020 GLC 300 and have never replaced the pads since driving off the lot. Waiting for the pad light to come on. The rears are definitely low with a few mm left. I do not have lane keep assist or other nannies except for forward collision. 🤷‍♂️

I love that you are able to provide MB authorized and authored specs for repair processes. I'm curious though, How much is the subscription price for the repository. Is it purchased for a specific vehicle or is it open to access for all vehicles. I have a 2018 GLC300 that I'm starting to do repairs to. I also have a 2022 E350 still under warranty and no need to touch it. But I'm committed to doing maint. on all my cars when it comes to pass. thanks for your help

You can buy a one day pass on mbusa's site for the WIS information and download all of which you need or you can go third party method I guess. https://www.startekinfo.com/home
