Why don’ You just order through the dealer. May take a while but you will get it eventually.
The dealer can't presently find a part number for it. Although my dealer, and sales guy in particular, are decent folks, they are somewhat clueless when it comes to do anything but actually take your cash in exchange for a vehicle. I had a good friend that was a head amg tech at another local dealer that could help me with such issues, but he left to start his own shop. In a number of cases, I have given my dealer insight into ordering processes that I've learned through this forum. So, yeah, without the help of folks here and research on my own, I'll have to wait until the dealer can find the part number for the spoiler.
My roof spoiler was deleted by the factory, with no plans to rectify. If you find one, please post part number. I'm looking myself and if I find it, will post as well.
PM me the last 8 of your VIN and I will see if I can get it.

I don't have a part number (no retrofit yet), but I do have this about availability:
"I reached out to Atlanta yesterday and they’re hoping for availability on the retrofit piece by some time in August but haven’t gotten a firm date yet. This is a top priority for us so we will let you know if anything changes. Thank you so much for reaching out! Hope you have a great week…"

Thanks! Wow, you've really got some contacts inside MB. Impressive. Ever since my buddy left my local dealership, to MBUSA I'm just some old dude that just happens to buy new Mercedes' every few years. Thanks again for all you do for the folks in this forum, including me.

Actually, I just have contacts that have contacts!
On another note, has anyone found any type of center console stowage box accessory tray? I bought one for my GLC43, but I haven't found one for the V167 yet. I've got cubbies galore in my old Avalanche, and apparently as much as I try to travel light, I have crap I need places for in my new ride. The GLE (same as the GLC) just doesn't have many nooks and crannies for little things to easily get your hand on, like writing utensils, batteries, camera, etc., not to mention multiples of each. It all just ends up jumbled together in the bottom of the center console box.
I ordered without Running Boards but want to add them along with Mud Flaps to help keep them clean. Can’t find anything and the Dealer says they don’t have any listed yet. No running Boards and no Mud Flaps for the AMG body.
If anyone comes across anything let me know.

I wasn't sure what thread to put this in. Okay, I don't want to hear gloating from the people in the 19 states that don't require a front plate!
I do not like the stock North American plate mount, which is a chunky plastic thing stuck in the middle of the front fascia that requires holes to be drilled in it. It also disrupts one of the main character lines on the front of the car. I had used the Sto n Sho mount on my M4 previously and liked it. It is a design that allows the plate to be installed or removed in about 5 seconds bu pulling a spring-loaded pin on the bracket, and it floats the plate free of the front of the car. Caveat: They do not yet have an application for the 2020 GLE with AMG Line, so I adapted one from the 2019, which is not perfect but works, IMO. I backed the plate itself with a carbon fiber sheet for more rigidity and blind riveted the whole thing together. I had to shim the bracket because of the curved nature of the bottom valance. It looks low to the ground in these photos because I have the suspension in the lowest position and the driveway is sloping up. Let me know what you think.
Looks good Greg....a big improvement. It looks high enough to clear any parking curbing and will be one or two inches higher depending on the driving Mode
Ordered these from Parts and they came in quickly. Every generation seems to change the clamping mechanism, and these appear that they might be the best yet with simple turn wheels. Installation instructions are in 31 languages!
For you that trailer and need a 4 or 5 pin converter. This one has a resistor for trailers with LED lights and will lock in place with the cover flap. Our Audi keep shutting down power to the trailer until I figured out that I had LED’s and they didn’t draw enough power for the system to know there was a trailer. Mercedes may handle it differently but for a few $’s more bought this one again.
I’m not thrilled by the direction MB has the plug pointed almost straight down.
After 3 months I decided to look for Mercedes Running Boards. They are not available from Mercedes as an option. I found a look alike set on Amazon and decided to take a chance since they can be returned if there is any fitment or quality issue. I didn’t want the roof rails so they reduced the price $79.
There are two reasons to get them. My wife wanted them to help with entry and exit. I also found that without them there seems to be a lot of dirt and mud on the stepped portion of the lower panel of the entry. Nothing gets in the car but every time I wash I have to clean each (below door) ridge. Hoping the steps will reduce that mess.
i also purchased the low wall Mercedes cargo mat and a set of wheel locks. I was given 15% off without asking, a pleasant surprise. The Mat is very nice and matches the interior floor mats that I was given at purchase.
The 15mm stud guide bolt is currently unavailable and back ordered.
