Have you found anything to add to your GLC300 that makes it better for you in ANY way? Please post them up.

As example, I've order additional headrest and seat pillows to add little more comfort.
Am debating the "Logo lights on ground from open doors" thing - not wanting to get carried away, but add some neat customization.

Do they make a wine chiller for the back seat tween the leg areas?
I'll let you know how those pillows work out after they arrive.

I second the recommendation of a console tray. Very useful.
A couple more:
1.
Phone mount Phone mount
(friction fit between instrument binnacle and infotainment screen; has standard 17mm Garmin ball, so you can swap out holder for one of your choice--I'm currently using a MagSafe-compatible
ESR HaloLock ESR HaloLock
)
2.
Front door armrest cups Front door armrest cups
to get a bit more small storage in the armrest. I'll often drop a bit of change in there until I can get home.

This is the cellphone holder I installed on my wife's GLC300, as well as on my ML550:

Mercedes-Benz C / GLC Phone holder, dedicated phone mount - RoundMount.pl

I personally am not in favor of the ones that clip to the air vents.

I’m on my second one of these because the tiny clips that support it break right off if you put enough change and other stuff exceeding a few ounces more than it’s already limited weight limit. Unbelievably, it’s the only one I could find in the markets so I just use it for a few coins and sunglasses.

Me neither on the vents; that mount you found looks terrific. I wish I could find similar for my W166 and R231!

The trouble with those is the part that has to be stuck to the phone, making it awkward if you stick the phone in your pocket.

Doesn't look that way to me; there are several options that that include charging, none requiring an attachment to the phone itself, and the standard ball-mount must presuppose the user has a mount/charger he wants to use in conjunction.

There are different options as can be seen on the roundmount website.

I chose the one with the magnet holder. The magnetic piece that needs to be attached to the back of the phone has never been in my way, and my phone pretty much lives in my Jeans or short pockets when not in use.

Here are a few things I've added to help enhance the car. I also added the console tray, if worried about rattles use a little bit of felt tape to keep it from moving.



I got the ambient light trim for passenger side, plus the metal tweater covers, metal center speaker cover, trim for the media buttons. Car came with the Mercedes logo puddle lights and I added a rear chrome bumper strip to protect from scuffs as well as the chrome strip that spans the hatch just above the lights... That one is a factory option.

Not sure what media button trim you’re talking about and I would love to see the rear end MODs.

GLC Maybach 300 [why did my pics vanish??]




I don't have the plush carpet mats yet. And yes, the front seats are fully forward in unuseable position for these photos.
Those wine flutes will not stay put that way, like they do in a Maybach. Never use glass inside a car.

Headrest pillows: Excellent! Decent quality. Buying two more for the front seats now because I like the feel. (direct product links, I don't get kick backs or anything)
Amazon Amazon

Seat Pillows: VERY well made. More for look than anything, because they take up too much space in the back seats, pushing your knees into the front seats. Might be nice for trips or random comfort. They don't match, am not concerned.
Amazon Amazon

Wine flutes: I thought it would be fun, and I needed some anyway. They don't SNAP IN, and won't stay up in the GLC 300 cup holders.
Amazon Amazon
