adding soft close doors after purchase

hi

We just acquired a x167 - 4th Mercedes gl*450 (my wife's car). We had ordered one, but when we were handing our previous GLS (2017) they had one with the feature my wife wanted and i never ordered - 6 seat config - almost everything else was as our order was configured.

...except it didn't have the soft close door option (which we had on the previous one). a week in, kids in and out we are wanting to add it. anyone have an idea of the cost of this as a dealer add? anyone done it?

thx

I can only guess it would be absurdly expensive, if you could even do it. And no way a dealer would make a modification like that, that could possibly effect safety.

Don't bother. If you have young kids, it's probably one of the best add-on options but -after purchase add-on would be extremely pricey.

I also checked on this, and soft-close doors are fairly inexpensive as a factory option but can ONLY be installed at the factory.

GLE450e
I just got my GLE450e. It came with a Webasto charger instead of MB one. Have I been duped by the dealer? I negotiated a little hard on the price so you think they changed the charger for a lower quality one?

They list it under their parts so it must be one of their suppliers:
