2017 Coupe Body Defects from Factory????
Ok - see attached pictures.
Just noticed these two defects - only 3k on the car.
They are clearly from the factory.
Dealer has stated that ALL of their AMG Coupes have the same issue.
So, help requested:
Can anyone with a 2017 and a 2018 (if available) Coupe look to see if you have the same defects on the lower driver side a-pillar, and the right front fender where it meets the door???

Yes, the fender is a panel alignment issue, while the pillar is a paint issue....
Not worried about the paint issue, but the fender fit to the door is an eyesore.... And, it's actually not alignment, it's a body panel shape issue... It's how it's flared!. Big issue for me.

2017 c63s coupe
My hood in the front is lower than my front bumper but I made some adjustments with these adjustable knobs and it's ok now. I also went back to dealership to check other AMG Coupe and they had same alignment issue but notice most non AMG models were perfect. Oh well

So - your right front fender is flush to the right door and right a-pillar. Can you check the junction of the right front fender to the a-pillar and door??

I have a similar problem with my Coupe.
Passenger Side (UK so left side)
The left side bonnet/hood is closer to the A pillar than the right by approx 2mm.
I will have it looked at when I take it in for the LSD oil change.

Mine lines up even on both sides. i think when I had it wrapped when they put all my doors and panels back they did an alignment. Have you went dealership to check the other cars? I'm wondering where my car was made too maybe quality control is lower than in Germany? Here is a picture which shows lines pretty matched up

Have you run your hand over the right door, starting under the mirror Ann's proceeding to the front fender???
It's hard to see but mine is at least 4mm off.

Sorry mine is not off by that much. I can't believe Mercedes let your car leave out like that I am even bummed now cause I can actually visualize what you described.
