This sounds stupid....

I just picked up a 2011 GLK today and I tried moving the rear view mirror with my hand and it wouldn't budge.

Is it automatic or is there a trick?

I didn't want to pull on it to hard as I already broke my center console box and I need a replacement (anyone know the part number to an almond/tan center console?)

It is friction fit, use more force.

What part of the center console do you need?

this thing

ooooo yeah sorry but that left side armrest arrives as a complete assembly. You need to replace it as a complete unit. The part number is 2046803239 followed by color code 8Q20. Its around $300 USD depending on which dealer you go to for new, or look for a used one on ebay/salvage yard for cheap.

Thanks for the info! I will try to find one on ebay.

I put the part number in on ebay, found one but it says its not compatible with my car, only a 2012 glk. I'll continue my search.

hmm weird, there shouldn't have been any changes from 2010-2012. the only thing i see different is 2012 have the chrome trim around the cup holders.

Update: I manned up and moved it with my hand.

This is the one I was looking at that said it wasn't compatible.
