Can you make out the part number, beginning with "A" on the left in the photo? I couldn't make it out with the photo on my screen.

Nothing comes up in EPC, fcpeuro or mercedesbenzstarparts. Maybe it's a part included in a larger assembly, such as the seat assembly?

Photos from additional angles might trigger some input from other owners.

Do all functions of your seat work - positioning, heating, cooling, massage (if applicable), memory, etc.? On non-AMG W166 I think there are some audio electronics under the driver seat - do all functions of your audio system work correctly?

I just got my windshield replaced GLC and I found one of this things in the cup holder. Looks used. Probably something to do with the antennae behind the rear view mirror 🤷‍♂️

Clearly, it looks to be the blinker fluid heater element.

I doubt it. I'm pretty sure that was discontinued after 2015.

Saw you had your windshield replaced. Having an issue finding the right windshield. The company replacing it is coming back with a glass that has the built in antenna, which I don't have. Glass needs to have lane assist and the distronics, no HUD. Did you have an issue in replacing? Thanks!
