2012 Tenorite Grey GLK Arrived! Pictures Attached

After 3 long painful months, my 2012 GLK finally arrived fresh off the boat from Germany . I have been so impressed with how it drivers, handles, the power train and fit and finish, unlike anything I have owned! The only strange thing I noticed is some condensation in the headlights....(lots of threads on this issue) at night. It is the start of winter here in Calgary, AB so the air is quite damp and cold at night...is it worth taking to the dealer? (comments please)

Congrats. Looks nice.

I guess your condensation issue will depend on how bad it is in regards to taking it to the dealer. Supposedly it should clear up. If not then perhaps a visit is in order.

Congrats on your new ride.
About condensation, a few owners in this forum has this issue, but they all went away after a short time, which is normal.
Keep an eye on it, if it does not go away or get worse take it to the dealer.


The weather in Calgary is nice but it makes my skin too dry, every time I visit there.

Your navigation/radio screen looks small, like the ones in 2010, mine is larger. Is there a reason for that? Enjoy the ride by the way, there well built. I have the same color.

I did not opt for the Navigation package (only package not on the vehicle) so then the GLK comes with the smaller screen, will be looking at getting a Garmin GPS instead in all likelihood

the condensation will wear off. My GLK was p/u a few days before Christmas and I was worried. If it does not improve within a few weeks, then check back with the dealer. Enjoy your new baby.
