Check to see if its SPA for your sport "appearance" package.

But if you are getting the roof rails let me know what dealership you ordered from and I wil be stopping by mine right away..
Sorry but to which no are you refering to? the wood or the aluminum roof rails?

The dealer told me that the sport package comes with the aluminum roof rails and I can't confirm it because I didn't order the sport package.

However, I did order the wood trim on my GLK. Other dealers I visited said the wood trim won't be available until June, but I do have it printed on the order.

Thanks for the info footmark. Good to hear wood trim is available for earlier rather than later delivery. Will definitely visit my dealer soon!

I think if one ordered the sport appearance pkg and on the order sheet it states aluminium rails, yet upon delivery it's black rails, one can demand for it to be swapped out later?

I had a long talk with the dealer about that and he said they would not be able to do it.
Unless you know their is a shortage of the roof racks the dealers aren't telling you when you order the sport package. The have a couple different stories to go with it. But he did say if he gets a memo saying they have them back in stock he is going to make sure that my GLK gets them as long its still at the factory.

Ordered mine for Euro Delivery and they didn't say that the aluminum roof rails wouldn't be included.

Exactly my point... They didnt say anything to me about it either until I asked them.

It may not happen to you... but to be dead honest I wouldnt be surprised if it does.

Fishsriz you are correct with the rails, that they are changing them with the black one since there is a shortage. There is an internal memo that was given to all sales rep, and before signing you can ask and confirm with your reps on which rail you will be getting.

To be honest, I don't know. I know you have started a thread below, maybe that can give you more insight:

https://mbworld.org/forums/glk-class...-ordering.html

If you don't mind me asking where did you order your GLK from, and why didn't you choose the Bi-Xenon option. That was the first thing on my list. Which part a sauga are you from?

I hope so as well, since i'm getting the Keyless GO, which starts for June production, hopefully by then the shortage issue is resolved, since I have the Sports Package as well.

I have put down a deposit back in Nov08 at Markham MB for the GLK. Up till now I still have not finalized my order because I am still waiting for the availability of the Keyless Go. Have you actually placed an order with Keyless Go already?

I have placed the order with the KEYLESS GO for the first batch which starts in June Production. I have verified this with my dealer, and called MB Canada as well who have confirmed Keyless GO starts in June.

hi all, long time lurker, first time poster.

i ordered a black on black one this january and was hoping to get keyless-go and burl walnut trim. but i was told that i couldn't get either. so i had to settle for aluminum and rear view camera or wait till july for delivery. since my lease for my current car ends in may, i couldn't take this option. despite this though, i'm still anxious to pick up the new car.

Congrats

Nice Ryan A.

Did you get Flat Black or Obsidian Black?

Did you ponder the sports package ?...or like Ontario too many potholes for the 20" rims?

I believe he works in sales at MB-Burnaby on Boundary.

So you are interested in a GLK now, eh?

thanks... i got it in flat black. i think it's ludicrous that merc has the nerve to charge extra for metallic paint on a 50k car that honda does for free on a civic. i pondered the sports package for like a second and decided against it. although the rims look nice and i love the addition of the aluminum rails, i'm just not a fan of suvs riding on low profile tires with large rims. also, my current mazda6 already has low profiles (from factory) and i don't like the harsh ride at all. i even had to replace a tire already due to potholes here. so i'm trying to avoid that. frankly, i would like the 17" rims that merc offers in europe, but i couldn't get it.

We are cut from the same cloth...

I too asked about the 17" rims and offroad package...not a huge issue but your get down hill control and underbelly deflection panels etc. MB did not figure anyone in NA would want the package...I am sure the GLK we are getting will be fine for the "gravel roads and mud puddles". I liked the aluminum rails...maybe a do it yourself project...although I read on the GL (big brother) the rails are fastened from the inside, meaning drop the roof panel

Hello Ryan A,

Did you get any discounts on your order by any chance and if so, which MB dealer did you go to? The MB in Vancouver won't budge at all
