New to the family... with a new glc43...

A few subtle changes... full clear bra, tinted front side windows... debaged (amg badge was removed after pics)... weather tech floor & cargo liner... still looking for dust-free ceramic front brake pads...

A 43 and Ohioan, 2 +'s from me (grew up outside Cincy). Congrats and welcome to the club!

I hope to be tinting my fronts soon, just debating on whether to ask for Acoustic front glass from MB. Let me know what tint brand you used. Thanks!

Beautifull car! I bought a metallic black one in September. Have you experienced/noticed the "crabbing" at slow speed tight turns, like backing out of a parking space? I went through MB Customer Car, and they offered me a miserly $1000 to make me go away. Next step -- filing under Michigan's Lemon Law. The jumping, bumbing, thumping noise is so bad that people outside the vehicle think something is terribly wrong. Not what I expected for a $70k+ vehicle. The crazy thing is that Mercedes' recommended fix, is to change the tires/wheels to smaller ones.

~ thank you!

yes I have noticed it as mentioned but I only have 200 miles on the car so it hasn't become annoying at this point. i wouldn't have the suv without any other wheels for they make the car with the optional 21" but I understand the concern. cheers

I was having this same issue. Its the UHP summer tires in cold temps that cause it.. So ridiculous. Changed to 19" winters and problem is gone.
